November 2020 - Student and Employee Diversity at Chico State
The Office of Institutional Research at CSU, Chico has recently released a series of Employee and Student Diversity Dashboards, which track changes over time in the racial / ethnic composition of campus employees and enrolled students. These dashboards enable users to create a variety of interesting data visualizations, which can aid in assessing our campus’ progress towards its strategic goals of equity, inclusion, and diversity.
One commonly-used metric of equity and inclusion in higher education is the relative racial and ethnic composition of enrolled students versus that of campus staff, faculty, and administration. As a federally-designated Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), the inclusion and representation of the Hispanic / Latinx population at CSU, Chico is especially important.
