Advancement & Community/Government Relations
IEAT 3 is continuously inventorying accomplishments and identifying opportunities to do better toward the goal of achieving racial and social justice across all divisions in recruiting, hiring, and retaining a diverse workforce in our faculty, staff, and administrator ranks. The Inclusive Excellence Action Plan (IEAP) was originally created by a team of staff, faculty, and students from across the University, with IEAT 3 calling for specific and ongoing work toward ensuring that policies and practices in recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and evaluating employees are equity-minded, IE-intentional, and consistent with current research on best practices.
Institutionally Funded Initiatives:
Post-Graduate Outcomes Alumni Survey (1- and 5-year) (IEAT 3.2)
Responsible divisions: DUA with OTP
- Primary contacts: Amanda Carpenter and Matt Zivot
- Funded: $20K
- OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE: This involves a multi-pronged approach using multiple sources of data examining a number of different outcomes, including graduate school completion, longitudinal employment data at time of graduation, and 1- and 5-years post-graduation, salary data through the Employment Development Department, and other additional data points. This will give us the opportunity to do Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) analysis and see how responsive we are to workforce and industry needs, as well as how we are doing with our graduates related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We feel that getting this started is a short-term activity but the Student Learning Outcomes analysis applying lessons learned will be more long term. This needs to be active ongoing annual activity that will have broad implications and follow up.

Status Report November 2022 - Post-Graduate Outcomes Alumni Survey (PDF, 270KB)
Through the IEAT/IEAP process, we are working to create a culture of DEIA praxis -- that is, the ongoing cycle of reflection and action -- with IEATs serving as the reflection arm and IEAPs serving as the action arm of this work. Toward that end, status reports are submitted by IEAP Initiative Leads and read by members of Inclusive Excellence Action Teams (IEATs) and by the President's Advisory Council on Inclusive Excellence (PACIE) who will support the IEAP Initiative Leads by responding to formative assessment questions posed in their status report.
Divisionally Funded Initiatives
Perception Survey and Analysis and Implemented Integrated Marketing Communication Plan (IMCP) (IEAT 3.1)
Responsible division: OTP
- Primary contact: Nancy Gill
- OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE: The goal of this activity is to assess the perception and impact of CSUCI’s contribution to economic vitality, social mobility and engaged citizenship. In the short term this will involve hiring consultants to assist us in implementing a perception survey to different campus stakeholders, run focus groups, and then analyze those results. The survey will reflect DEIA questions. Later, after the surveys have been conducted and results have been analyzed, we would hire consultants to continue this work to help us build and implement an Integrated Marketing Communication Plan and continue to assess perceptions of the university as it relates to value and brand equity with a focus on DEIA.

- In Fall 2022:
- Brand research reports from ADV Market Research & Consulting are informing the development of a Web Refresh Steering Committee and guiding that work, which includes: (1) web strategy and development, (2) website segmentation (i.e., internet, intranet), (3) Spanish translation, (4) a temporary, one-year, full-time Digital Marketing hire, and (5) software and equipment.
- In Spring 2022:
- A competitive proposal from ADV Market Research & Consulting was accepted and implemented. Analyses of survey and interview data were provided and reviewed by ADV consultants, Grant DeRoo and Chuck Reed with campus leadership in early Summer 2022.
- The Office of the President budget development process included a funding request for a website audit and refresh, awarded with one-time funding in the amount of $1,051,370.
Scholarship Data Review and Longitudinal Scholarship Data Review (IEAT 3.3)
Responsible divisions: DUA with OTP
- Primary contacts: Richard Yao and Ritchie LeRoy
- OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE: This initiative will continue the work begun in Summer 2020 in a joint effort by DSA and DUA, analyzing the impact of scholarships and size of scholarships on student success, specifically through a DEIA lens. CSUCI was the first campus in the CSU system to conduct this type of analysis. Anticipated outcomes include improved student success metrics (e.g., GI 2025 metrics: decreased equity gaps, increased retention/persistence rates, decrease in DWFs, etc.).
Provide Physical Space to Build Community (IEAT 3.4)
Responsible divisions: BFA with DAA, DSA, DUA, OTP
- Primary contacts: Eboni Ford Turnbow
- OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE: Begin dialogue around providing physical space to build community on campus for populations historically under-represented and underserved in higher education. In collaboration with the University’s Space Allocation Committee, Facilities, and through engagement with upcoming capital projects, environmental assessment of spaces and ongoing pursuit of creating affinity spaces for minoritized groups will lead to the building/utilization/modification of safe spaces for all members of our campus community.
