The Chicago Maroon Staff Survey

In spring 2023, The Maroon conducted its first-ever staff survey, which we hope to make an annual tradition on the paper. We asked our staff their demographics to (1) to track the diversity of our staff and (2) to have specific information of our staff’s years, majors, and interests. These goals serve a dual purpose: to hold The Maroon accountable in its diversity efforts and share more about ourselves to those outside our organization.

Additionally, this information will be used to the benefit of future Maroon leaders and for recruiting events. All questions asked were reviewed by The Maroon ’s DEI Board, were completely anonymous, and allowed participants to forgo many of the questions asked.
