Data-Based Decision Making & Planning

The Inclusive Excellence Action Plan (IEAP) was originally created by a team of staff, faculty, and students from across the University, with IEAT 5 continuously inventorying accomplishments and identifying opportunities to do better toward the goal of achieving racial and social justice across all divisions by ensuring that the processes of collecting, analyzing, accessing, and using data effectively serve decision-making and planning processes. The Equity Lens Framework developed by President’s Advisory Council on Inclusive Excellence (PACIE) is a tool used by this group for the purpose of seeing and using data (e.g., on courses, programs, co-curricular offerings, enrollment management, UPD policies and practices) through the lenses of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

    Interdisciplinary Course Development of DEIA Learning Outcomes (PDF, 244KB)

    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.

Outreach & Recruitment of African American Students (IEAT 5.8)

Divisionally Funded Initiatives

Bridging Perspectives Curriculum (IEAT 5.3)

Not Yet Started

Responsible divisions: DAA with BFA

    • Primary contact: Angela Portillo
    • OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this initiative as proposed by IEAT 5 is, "Co-taught University Police Department and CSUCI Faculty, Bridging Perspectives Student-Officer Course is a critical conversations course. Providing an opportunity for University Police and CSUCI students to build relationships on both sides through the use of a structured curriculum and course work over a 15-week period. Taught as a 490 course, students would earn university credits after completing the course. The plan would be to utilize an approved/developed curriculum at the national level. The funding requested is needed to buyout the time of the faculty member co-teaching the course."

Dashboard Clean-up & Access Expansion (IEAT 5.4)

In-Progress

Responsible division: OTP

    • IEAT 5.4
    • Primary contact: Matt Zivot
    • OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE: Through a preliminary inventory done by IEAT 5, it was discovered that there are over 100 dashboards stored on the CSUCI server that are no longer updated, utilized, and do not provide a means to assist with aggregating data in a meaningful way when looking at GI 2025 goals. As such, there needs to be a ‘purge’ of these dashboards from the system. The system should house dashboards that are routinely updated by IR staff and not waste valuable server space with unnecessary dashboards. This work could be done with the reallocation of existing IR staff (preliminary vetting of these dashboards has already been done by these data analysts).

      As a second part of this Action Plan, access needs to be expanded to the remaining dashboards (post-purge). The dashboards that remain provide a wealth of information; however, very few individuals on the campus are aware of the dashboards or have access. The recommendation of IEAT 5 is to provide access to all CSUCI employees through the myCI portal so that there is greater data transparency on campus. This work could also be done by the existing IR staff who currently provides access to the data dashboards.

  • TBD

IR Policy Work (IEAT 5.5)

In-Progress

Responsible division: OTP

    • IEAT 5.5
    • Primary contact: Matt Zivot
    • OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE: A full review of existing policies related to IR work(e.g.AA.04.004;A.04.005/SP.04.001; AA.04.006; AA.04.007; AA.07.001/SP.15.005) must be completed to ensure that they align with the campus’ philosophy on data transparency, security, and the emphasis on data-driven decision making. Additionally, a new policy should be developed stating that new dashboards moving forward must include the ability to view student demographics and success metrics.
  • TBD

Racial and Identity Profiling Act (RIPA) Dashboard Development (IEAT 5.9)

In-Progress

Responsible division: OTP

    • IEAT 5.9
    • Primary contacts: Drake Massey and Matt Zivot
    • OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE: Making information transparent to the campus community, the University Police Department will begin collecting RIPA data beginning January 1, 2022. With the assistance and expertise of IR staff, the information collected could be made available to the campus community through a comprehensive data dashboard in the aggregate for analysis.
