- At present, bias incident and non-confidential elements of harassment reports are shared with the vice-president (or comparable head) of the area in which the reported incident took place.
- Annual reports required of faculty members and curricular departments and programs now include a prompt to discuss contributions in support of diversity as part of a number of institutional priorities. This year, a separate prompt will elicit input from individuals, departments, and programs to discuss their contributions to supporting diversity, equity and inclusion.
- The college administers a number of national and in-house surveys and questionnaires that include information pertinent to this goal.
- To Include is To Excel provides a “primer” providing extensive information related to diversity, equity and inclusion at St. Olaf.
- The Council on Equity and Inclusion solicits input from the college community through a variety of instruments, including weekly “office hours” and an on-line form.
