At Princeton, we are fostering a diverse community in pursuit of truth-seeking and academic excellence. The analysis of data and trends is one part of our larger effort to understand and evaluate our diversity and inclusion efforts. This work, conducted on an annual basis, helps us identify successes and gaps, ask hard questions and hold ourselves accountable. Demographics Princeton aspires to be a truly diverse community in which individuals of every sex, gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, ability and socioeconomic status can flourish equally. Attracting and yielding talented student applicants and recruiting and retaining stellar faculty and staff at all levels requires constant, systematic attention from individual admission officers and selection committees, hiring managers and search committee members. The University continues to enhance its processes, infrastructure and training to support strong outcomes. With an eye on cultivating a diverse community in the broadest sense, information is gathered across student, faculty / academic professional and staff populations. Climate Data Princeton uses a variety of strategies, tools and resources to advance inclusion for campus populations. The University uses climate data to evaluate and monitor campus inclusivity and surface continuing challenges and promising opportunities. Climate surveys are an essential tool for assessing individuals’ experiences on campus. They provide important information about perceptions of belonging, inclusion and equity. Administrative and academic leaders use the feedback to develop strategies to ensure that all members of our community feel included and respected regardless of their role or other aspects of their identity.
