Diversity Data

The Office of Institutional Effectiveness, in partnership with the Office of Inclusive Excellence, developed a data dashboard that visually tracks, analyzes, and displays key metrics and data points to monitor SPU’s diversity progress over time to continue to foster a culture of data-driven assessment and evaluation in relation to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The dashboard data areas include demographics, participation, retention, completion, and campus climate.

SPU faculty and staff can access the dashboards below.
