Campus Climate Assessment
As part of Renton Technical College’s Strategy Equity Plan and in accordance with RCW 28B.10.147, the institution will perform a college-wide campus climate assessment as well as listening and feedback sessions. The goal is to ensure that DEI priorities and initiatives are grounded in current and transparent data, shedding light on the existing state of the college and revealing equity gaps.
Campus Climate Assessment Results
RTC opted for the HEDS Diversity and Equity Campus Climate Survey as the primary tool for gathering insights from students, faculty, and staff. The survey was designed to obtain valuable feedback on various aspects, including:
- perceptions of their institution’s climate,
- perceptions of how their institution supports diversity and equity, and
- experiences with discrimination and harassment at their institution.
The results of the campus climate surveys conducted at Renton Technical College are presented here for both the campus community and the general public. These reports offer a summary of the data gathered through the surveys.
Reports:
Listening Sessions
Listening sessions will be scheduled each year between the survey-based campus climate assessments.
In collaboration with Be Culture, the Campus Climate & Data Equity Committee hosted listening sessions. The Committee identified key populations of focus based on survey findings: Faculty, Disability & Accommodations (open to all faculty, staff, and students); BIPOC Experiences for Employees; LGBTQ+ (open to all faculty, staff, and students), and BIPOC for students, in addition to an all-college group.
Listening Sessions Results
A formal report of the Listening Sessions will also be shared with the campus community upon completion.
