Our EBI Climate Assessment was originally developed in partnership with The Ohio State University in 2003 and has been validated in two pilot administrations.

With over 20 factors, this comprehensive assessment will provide insights into the perceptions of students on your campus' climate. EBI's assessments are designed to enable you to leverage results to make informed decisions which drive continuous improvement. Areas of focus include:

Prior Experience with Diversity: Race/Ethnicity, Gender, Religious Identification, Political/Social Ideology, Financial Standing Academic Achievement and Personal Development Peer Relationships Diversity Programs and Policies: Special Consideration for Minorities, Student Received Special Consideration Camaraderie Among Racial/Ethnic Groups Classroom Environment: Inclusive Environment, Value of Contributions, Represent Others Equal Treatment Inter-Group Relations Expressions of Insensitivity and Prejudice: Faculty and Staff, Students Diversity Experiences Impacted: Learning and Development, Ability to Work Effectively with Others, Attitudes of Differing Populations Disabled Students: Accessibility of Campus Resources, Physical Accessibility to Campus Facilities Overall Evaluation of Institution

As with all of EBI's nationally benchmarked assessments, our National Climate Assessment includes:

• Identification of factors that impact student perceptions of the campus climate.
• A Longitudinal Analysis to track progress over time to provide evidence of improvement
• Up to 10 Institutional Specific Questions (Unique questions you add to the survey)
• Comparative analysis to better understand your performance over time. Three levels of comparisons include:
  • Six self- selected peer or aspirant schools
  • All schools in your Carnegie Classification
  • All participating schools

The EBI analysis includes two types of reports. Upper Level Summary Reports which give the reader a high level view of the performance of their institution and Lower Level Detail Reports which dig into the data to pinpoint details.

Gender, ethnicity, and other demographic variables are included in the analysis so you can determine the degree to which intervention strategies may need to differ.
