Has the institution engaged in a structured assessment process during the previous three years to improve diversity, equity and inclusion on campus?:
Yes
A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:
he Purdue Equity Task Force was charged with developing and implementing a plan with specific actions to ensure all members of the university community have the opportunity to experience all Purdue has to offer equitably, focusing on structural and environmental barriers to success of students, faculty, and staff of color and initially focusing on the specific experience of Black Boilermakers. Past investments, initiatives, and work by many have attempted to help the Purdue system make progress in becoming more diverse and inclusive. That said, this progress has been slow for people of color, and is especially lacking for Black faculty, staff and students.
After reviewing the current state of equity and inclusion on the Purdue West Lafayette Campus and the past and present investments and initiatives, the task force made recommendations to the Board of Trustees who, in turn, formulated three measurable pillars to be implemented by an ETF cross-disciplinary implementation team: 1) Representation, 2) Experience, 3) Success

A brief description of the most recent assessment findings and how the results are used in shaping policy, programs, and initiatives:
Purdue is now in the second year of the five-year $75 million Equity Task Force initiative that focuses on the representation, experience, and success of Black Boilermakers. Campus Community ideas, insights and support have been instrumental in helping us through a successful first year. As a reminder, after the initial 150-member task force shared their report and recommendations with the Board of Trustees, an implementation team was assembled to move the work forward. The team continues to meet monthly to implement the strategies, initiatives and recommendations shared through the initial findings of the task force and the Board of Trustees.
