Michigan Technological University. Institutional Diversity

In 1992, Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan conducted a climate survey aimed at understanding the concerns of women at Michigan Tech: 385 female faculty, staff, and students completed the survey. The survey's final report (1994) provided a number of recommendations that were implemented to improve the climate for both females and males. The survey included questions that asked individuals to consider various aspects of diversity and how it has or may impact them and their work. The results of this survey, and a review of the outcomes of the previous studies, provide a comprehensive snapshot of our campus climate and culture. This ongoing Climate Study will assist Michigan Tech in examining its programs, processes, and procedures to ensure that they meet the needs of an increasingly diverse University community.
