Vision
The Duke community is fully empowered to make evidence-based decisions that use data and rigorous methods to advance racial equity.
The Climate and Assessment Subcommittee is charged with highlighting trends and analyzing emerging outcomes from institutional datasets, including the Duke Campus Culture Survey. The Climate and Assessment Subcommittee will use data to identify gaps in policies and practices and inform educational and training opportunities that support equity at Duke. This subcommittee provides recommendations to campus leaders and work collaboratively with the REAC subcommittees and other groups across campus to center data-driven approaches developing and ongoing processes and deliverables.
