Participation is open only to current students, faculty and staff. Responses will remain confidential. The survey is being conducted by an external consultant, Rankin & Associates Consulting, which has overseen more than 200 similar studies at academic institutions nationwide. 成人抖阴co-chairs of the study are Dr. James King, associate professor of English, and Humberto Aristizábal, associate vice president of institutional equity and Title IX coordinator. Focus groups were conducted to inform the survey’s development.
