A report released earlier today by the Elon University Presidential Task Force on Black Student, Faculty, and Staff Experience highlights the disconcerting emphasis black and non-black survey respondents placed on lack of diversity, inclusiveness and support for black students, faculty and staff at Elon. The report, a product of responses from a December 2014 campus climate survey, reveals, among other findings, that “less than a quarter of Black survey respondents said they felt safe on campus.”
Survey results and recommendations have been released today by the "Presidential Task Force on Black Student, Faculty and Staff Experiences." The Fall 2014 campus climate survey was administered by the task force, and included surveys, focus groups and one-on-one interviews with task force members. Report Findings of Non-Black Students, Faculty and Staff According to the report, non-black student respondents indicated in the campus survey that they viewed Elon's campus climate as positive and inclusive. When asked a question on the campus survey of, "What is the most important issue facing Elon University?," the most common answer given by non-black students was associated with the lack of diversity on campus. Most non-black student survey respondents said they were committed to promoting inclusion at Elon, and see themselves as active supporters of diversity. The report states that although non-black students, faculty and staff are aware of some of the issues that black students, faculty and staff face at Elon, they generally have a "much rosier image of the university's level of inclusivity." Non-black faculty and staff perceived the work environment to be much more inclusive than black faculty and staff did.
