Presidential Working Group on Diversity and Inclusion

In fall 2017, President Crawford commissioned a Working Group to address key issues around Diversity & Inclusion, allowing Miami to enhance a welcoming and tolerant community for all students, faculty, and staff.

Chaired by Professor Rodney Coates, the Working Group submitted its report in May 2018, which includes a summary and set of recommendations. Tasks designed to advance these goals will be integrated with the work related to the One Miami Campus Climate Survey.

Data and Reports

Miami University community members completed 6,702 surveys last fall for an overall response rate of 24 percent. Only surveys that were at least 50 percent completed were included in the final data set for analyses.

Rankin & Associates, the agency that conducted the survey, provides this executive summary of the results.
