Discrimination/Bias/Harassment

Demographics

Almost 70% of students agreed that CMU would take a report of discrimination/bias/ harassment seriously, and many also agreed that they believed their privacy would be maintained if they were to file a report. However, almost half of the respondents reported they did not know where to file a report. Less than half of respondents (43.4%) reported experiencing discrimination/bias/harassment while at CMU. The most common form of discrimination/ bias/harassment was based on gender (16%) or race/ethnicity (15.6%), and the most frequent perpetrators were other students (81%).

The proportion of full-time students responding was higher than the population (+11.4%), while the proportion of part-time students was lower than the population by -10.4%

Of those who responded to the survey, 70.2% are seeking a bachelor’s degree, 21.9% are getting their master’s degree and 5.1% are working on a doctoral degree. Over 75% of respondents were 25 years old or younger, 82.5% were single and 12.8% were married.

Approximately 15% of respondents reported any incident of discrimination/bias/harassment, and most frequently students went to a friend (44.4%) or faculty member (39.7%). Over 40% of those who filed a written complaint in the last 2 years said the result was that “nothing was done” while 19% said that the “complaint was addressed but not resolved to my satisfaction.” Those who didn’t report an incident most often said it was because they “decided it wasn’t important enough” (56.2%) or “didn’t feel anything would happen” (50.6%).

Students most often reported choosing CMU because of the cost (43.0%), distance from home (42.1%), and because they received a scholarship (40.1%).

To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statements regarding our institution's responsiveness to a report of discrimination¹/bias²/harassment³?

¹ Any unlawful distinction, preference, or detriment to an individual that is based upon an individual’s protected class (i.e. race, color, ethnicity, national origin, gender, disability, etc.) that: (1) excludes an individual from participation in; (2) denies the individual the benefits of; (3) treats the individual differently with regard to; or (4) otherwise adversely affects a term or condition of an individual’s employment, education, living environment or participation in a university program or activity. Discrimination includes failing to provide a reasonable accommodation, consistent with state and federal law, to persons with disabilities, as well as failing to reasonably accommodate an employee’s or student’s religious practices where the accommodation does not impose an undue hardship.

² A tendency to believe that some people, ideas, etc., are better than others, which usually results in treating some people unfairly.

³ A form of employment discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. It is unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetics.

Experience of Discrimination/Bias/Harassment

Among those choosing to comment, respondents shared that at times, it was difficult to submit an incident report because the alleged offender was not identifiable. From these comments, the campus climate survey team inferred that if there is a process for reporting and following-up on incidents, this process remains unclear to prospective reporters. Many students indicated they experienced assault, discrimination, bias, and/or harassment, but did not indicate if they had reported the incident. Further, while students often that they were not directly targeted by an instance of discrimination, bias, and/or harassment, they were either acquainted with someone who had or had personally observed the act. Specific accounts of discrimination were mentioned in the appendices. Several themes centering the experiences of minoritized communities emerged.

For example, A few respondents also indicated that international students are often siphoned into roles centering manual labor across campus or are disproportionately targeted. Some individuals also shared experiences with ageism, ableism, and sizeism. With the exception of two narratives, it is unclear whether or not these incidents were reported and/or addressed by the university.

Several comments indicated that little space is made available for “White Christians” or people with conservative viewpoints to share their perspectives or lived experience with bias and discrimination. There were also additional comments made surrounding some people feeling targeted because they were not in support of vaccinations. Overall, it was clear that almost all of the respondents felt inadequately supported by reporting entities within the institution or believed the campus climate was unable to demonstrate an acceptance of their lived experience. 33

Reporting Discrimination/Bias/ Harassment

While over 40% of the respondents experienced discrimination/bias/harassment as a student at CMU, 85% never reported any incident. Of those that did report an incident, they were most likely to go to their friend or a faculty member. However, for those that filed a report in the past two years, the most frequently reported result was that nothing was done (44%) or that the complaint was addressed but not resolved to the reporter’s satisfaction (19%).

When asked about why they didn’t report the

incident respondents frequently noted that they didn’t think it was important enough (56%) or they didn’t feel anything would happen (51%). Furthermore, comments were disclosed among respondents choosing to share their rationale for not reporting incidents. Within the 48 comments that were submitted, additional themes that were mentioned included: (1) anonymous offender [6 responses, 13%], (2) were unaware of reporting options [6 responses, 13%], (3) addressed by someone else or ‘wasn’t my place’ [6 responses, 13%], (4) shame, embarrassment, or fear of retaliation [4 responses, 8%], or (5) reported to entity other than OCRIE [3 responses, 6%].

Students were asked to provide additional narratives to support their quantitative answers. Among the 63 responses we received, the majority of the comments could be categorized into one of the following themes: (1) allow guns/weapons on campus [10 responses, 16%], (2) ban guns from campus [6 responses, 10%], (3) increased lighting [6 responses, 10%], (4) online learner/cannot assess [6 responses, 10%], (5) increase SAFE rides/evening shuttles [5 responses, 8%], (6) improved pedestrian safety [4 responses, 6%], (7) placement of cameras in the residence halls [3 responses, 5%], (8) felt safe [3 responses, 5%], or (9) increased critical incident training [2 responses, 3%].

Singular statements were also included in the comments section that were of note. Where it related to weapons and policing on campus, an equal number of students advocated for decreased availability of weapons and policing on campus, as students who advocated for increased police presence and weapons on campus. Another respondent asked for considerations to reduce the propping of fire doors. Finally, a student shared that CMU could improve its efforts to explore psychological safety, particularly as it related to its current use of “CMU Chippewa”. They stated, “I do not feel safe to attend sporting events on campus based on the mascot. I do not want to potentially subject myself or my family members to racism.”

As this was the first comprehensive climate survey conducted on CMU’s campus within a decade, it was essential to record students’ considerations for how they experienced the campus climate, as well as ways they imagined it could be improved. Among the 1,420 students who completed the climate survey, 144 (10%) provided additional narratives on ways the campus climate could improve. During this phase of coding, the majority of the comments were categorized as (1) more resources for diverse populations [34 responses, 24%] (2) political ideology [22 responses, 15%], (3) accessibility, follow-through, and accountability [21 responses, 15%], or (4) expanded understandings of diversity [10 responses, 7%].

Students that shared their perspectives on ways to enhance resources for diverse populations on campus covered a wide range of options, such as improved housing options (e.g., for students who are caretakers and/or international students), embedding universal design in pedagogy, practice, and physical structures, diversifying the faculty ranks, and resourcing offices in the Center for Student Inclusion and Diversity. One student commented: “please make things more accessible. It sucks being disabled and constantly having to work for my own accommodations that should be outright provided, especially if abled people will also find them useful (e.g., automatic doors, more seating areas).” Another stated, “we’re not asking for much, but I really think if IMPACT received more funding that’ll help.”

Respondents sharing their thoughts on political ideology were largely focused on making space for conservative sentiments to be more readily shared and received on campus. Often, the use of “diversity of thought” was as operationalized a placeholder for whiteness. Further, the phrase, “shoving down our throats/pushing diversity” was utilized to argue that embedding DEIJB efforts within the campus community was divisive and counterproductive. For instance, one student commented, “no one should be hated because of the color of their skin and that includes the ‘majority culture’. Teaching anti-racism shouldn’t make me hate my skin.” Another respon-

dent noted, “I would encourage faculty and staff to be neutral regarding political feelings and stop pushing the media’s far-left agenda.” The sentiment gathered from many of these comments was that students were feeling marginalized or discriminated against because their political or religious ideologies did not align with the majority of the campus constituency.

Those discussing matters related to accessibility, follow-through, and accountability required a higher level of administrative commitment to being visible, listening – and being responsive – to students’ needs, and adequately attending to emergent deficiencies and/or reported incidents. Broadly, commentary representative within this code sought campus leaders that were readily available, creative in information gathering, and committed to utilizing data to make informed decisions about students’ lived experiences on campus. One respondent noted, “don’t let homophobia and sexism slide. If there’s a reported issue within the university, take action.” Another stated, “encourage BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled voices instead of talking about how you’re going to address issues. To put it bluntly, either put up or shut up.”

The preponderance of students seeking expanded understandings of diversity demonstrated feelings of erasure and expressed an interest in more nuanced, complex explorations and recognition of identity across campus. For instance, one student shared, “professors and administrators often assume there are no students from indigenous backgrounds based on looks alone in the classroom/hallway and we are right here.” Another participant stated, “lot’s of focus gets placed on racial diversity…but there are many other groups continuing [to be] overlooked. Disability in general gets swept under the rug, and the campus itself does not shine on physical accessibility. Mental illnesses are included in the disability world, and there are lots of opportunities in that particular pocket of individuals that are currently being missed.”

THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE TRAININGS ON DIVERSITY AND SAA !!!!!

There are great professors in departments that don’t get enough attention. I love my faculty in this department and they are treated terribly by the higher ups. My professors in this department truly care about every student but the people above them do nothing to help them. We keep [losing] money each year even though this program is amazing. I wish this college would focus on the departments that really care about their subject. I have never met a bad professor in this department

The Honors college offers a hostile studying/living environment.

Never heard of it

Never heard about it.

My program's faculty are very good with ethics but I feel the workload is too much and am having a hard time maintaining a work life balance even while trying to get ahead on things and practice self care. It's probably stupid and pointless. This school wastes so much money on unnecessary ****** it's crazy.

If the website was better organized, I would know about more of our available services.

Idk

I would enjoy survey questions on other things about the campus, such as food, climate, etc.

I was not aware that CMU had an Ethics Hotline. But now I am. Considering they asked that question.

I honestly can't be myself in class or on campus without fearing for my grades, social standing, or job. I have to mask my true beliefs because seemingly everyone on campus thinks conservative Christians are evil people. They don't care what we think, they want us to mindlessly conform with their ideals. I knew college would be liberal, but this campus is far worse than other campus I've been on. In my opinion, college should strive to be diverse in mindsets and unbiased politically. Clearly, that is not something this campus cares about.

I have never heard of this hotline.

I feel that this university, along with many students and professors don't allow for certain view points to be discussed. As someone who is a conservative, I feel like some of the teachers and required courses are BS to be honest. Like gender studies and things of that nature. And not only do I have to take classes like this, I also am not welcomed to talk in these types of classes due to the hostile environment of not only the students, but the teachers as well. I also don't agree with work-studies. I want to get a job on campus but since I don't qualify for work study I would have to apply for the jobs that I don't want. I also disagree with diversity on this campus. There are all these clubs for certain races. One that comes to mind is the Black Accountants club or whatever it's called. That doesn't sound very diverse or welcoming. There are many other clubs and student organization like this that make it feel unwelcoming. Overall I think the definitely needs to be some change, but in the end i know there won't be.

I don't think that it's fair staff and faculty are choosing between pay cuts or leaving the university while senior administrators are being praised and given raises and bonuses. the senior administration doesn't teach any of the students on this campus, the staff

I am sure that I could locate it if needed I am not sure what the number is.

I am glad this survey exists and asks questions beyond the scope of just inclusion and diversity, but work-life balance as well.

I am an online student, and found it hard to answer most of these questions simply because I don't get the engage with the campus like an on campus student would. Heard that it exists but don't know much about it. because I do not think I need it

Are you serious? there is an ethical hotline? What next. Puppies and balloons with a naptime?

Ethical Culture of Central Michigan University

Survey participants were encouraged to describe CMU’s ethical culture. This portion of the survey received a response rate of 278 comments. During this phase of coding, the majority of the comments were categorized as (1) general confidence in CMU’s ethical culture [113 responses, 41%] (2) developing or context-specific [40 responses, 14%], (3) general skepticism in CMU’s ethical culture [60 responses, 33%], or (4) not applicable or unsure [30 responses, 11%]. Comments that were difficult to interpret were not analyzed (e.g., “wide” or “?”).

Ethical Culture of

Central Michigan University

Those expressing confidence in Central’s ethical culture often used descriptors such as “strong ethical culture”, “pretty good”, and “they try their best” to define their experiences and/or interpretations. In supporting their stance, one Student indicated university were almost always transparent and honest with their communication and sought balanced ways to address difficult issues. Another participant stated they found it helpful when the president sent out mass communication to discuss ways the institution had addressed a biased campus incident. One respondent commented, “I think our campus has a strong ethical culture. Professors instill in us expectations of academic honesty, and there are consequences in place for unethical and/ or dishonest behavior”.

Those describing CMU’s ethical culture as developing or context-specific often used disclaimers, such as “they are ethical/diverse, but…”, or “the ethical culture is strong/is trying, but…”. When providing details to reinforce their sentiment, several respondents noted an ethical culture was present, but there was room to improve. Another indicated that CMU’s ethical culture was “good”, but professors in some departments “get away with disrespectful remarks and unfair choosing between students

based on gender/appearance”. One respondent shared that while the institution provided offerings to maintain an ethical culture, several opportunities to improve are missed because the preponderance of these offerings are not mandatory. Some respondents determined that choosing to engage in efforts to create an ethical culture was a choice, inferring that community members should take some responsibility in working to improve campus culture.

Those expressing skepticism in Central’s ethical culture often used descriptors such as “superficial”, “performative”, [financially-driven], and [left-leaning]. Frequently, individuals sharing this outlook stated that the institution lacked an ethical culture because of an over-emphasis on diversity and inclusion; some were more specific, stating that the self-segregation of BIPOC people was disrupting efforts to unify the campus. At times, respondents indicated that the institution was unfriendly towards People of Color. Others drew connectivity between perceived ethical behavior and financial decision-making. In other words, the student experience suffered as a result of poorly executed administrative decisions. One respondent commented, “I believe a lot of this university’s ethical culture is rooted in financial goals rather than the needs and requests of the student body. I’ve seen buildings and equipment go without maintenance or replacement meanwhile there is a brand new Alumni area in the Football Stadium which is useless to current students”.

There were also some respondents that indicated they were not informed enough to make an opinion, either because they were new to the institution or they were online learners. It is also of interest to note that several individuals seemed to define the indicators of an ethical campus climate as one that demonstrated diversity. Meaning, when determining if they felt the campus maintained an ethical culture, several students decidedly mentioned their interpretations of CMU’s diversity.

What title would you prefer in lieu of the current one?

Tower of Rainbow Energies

Title fits

The title is trying too hard to be fancy and it's a huge turn off that makes me not want to use it. Maybe LGBT+ Support and Services?

The office of equity and inclusion

The Difference Division

Student Equality Service

something shorterâ€¦ Office of LGTBQIA & Gender Equity (drop services/programs)

Seems better than a less official title, but it feels too cold or uninviting

Rainbow Kids

Office of Queer Services and Programming (OQSP)

Office of Queer and Questioning Services

Office of LGBTQ+ Services and Gender Equity Programs

Office of LGBT+ Services, so it's a little shorter

Not sure, but the current name is very long

Lgbtq+*

If someone cares about the name of your office, then they aren't really a queer person who has any idea what it is to be marginalized. I'm an old queer - we don't care about the alphabet mafia or the 60 ways to define your gender. We remember what it was like to be beaten and kicked out of the house, to live a lie and code switch constantly. You do awesome work. Call yourself whatever you want.

I think changing it to LGBTQ+ makes it more inclusive

I have not visited this office

Honestly kinda long but I love that it includes both sexuality and gender despite being gay and spending much of my college career in the closet, I've never been to the office of LGBTQ Services
