In the analysis of the data, the College, through the Cabinet members starting with the Provost, identifies the areas of greatest concern and identifies the area best suited to develop a solution. For example, the College Committee on Inclusive Excellence will review items relating to a welcome and comfortable work environment or classroom, experiences of perceived bias or discrimination, and access to resources. This Committee would develop a College intervention to begin to address these experiences or inform a broader strategic planning process. Other committees that might receive information include the President's Cabinet, the Council of Deans, the Campus Deans and Directors, Student Success Committee.
