Synopsis

Careful study of campus climate is critical for improved individual and organizational performance. This issue offers specific measures that institutional researchers can use in identifying, defining, and articulating the range of components that create a campus climate. The authors provide guidelines for effective assessment of today's diverse campus populations, highlighting key diversity issues that affect women, racial and ethnic minorities; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and disabled students. They also evaluate three decades of relevant data on climate trends to shed light on which programs and policies will be relevant for American higher education in the next millennium.
