UNC System Racial Equity Task Force Survey

In June, the Board of Governors established the UNC System Racial Equity Task Force. To guide their critically important work, the UNC System has launched an online survey for members of the university community.

The insights and experiences that faculty, staff and students share through the questionnaire will help drive the work of the task force and guide their recommendations to the UNC Board of Governors.

Here is the link to the survey. See below for the Racial Equity Task Force survey recruitment information.

It’s important to note that the survey closes Sept. 30. You are encouraged to visit the UNC System Racial Equity Task Force website to learn about the upcoming virtual town halls and other ways to share input.

Thank you,
Interim Chancellor RonM

Survey Recruitment Information

To faculty, staff and students of the UNC System:

You are invited to complete a questionnaire to inform the work of the University of North Carolina System’s Racial Equity Task Force. The objectives of the questionnaire are to:

• Understand how racial diversity, equity, and inclusion are perceived on UNC System campuses;
• Evaluate where the UNC System should prioritize efforts; and
• Give all members of the UNC System a chance to be heard by the UNC System Racial Equity Task Force

You are being asked to take part in a research study because you are faculty, staff, or student of the University of North Carolina System. You must be at least 18 years old to participate.

The questionnaire will ask about your experiences and perceptions at your institution related to racial diversity, equity, and inclusion. The questionnaire will take about 15-20 minutes to complete.

Your participation in the questionnaire is completely voluntary. You have the option to complete the questionnaire or not and you can stop completing the questionnaire at any time if you so choose.

All the information that you provide will be anonymous. Your name will not be associated with your responses. General results from the questionnaire will be shared with the UNC System Office to help inform efforts to foster positive campus climates at UNC institutions. De-identified information collected through this questionnaire may be used to inform the UNC System Racial Equity Task Force’s final report and recommendations.

As with any study involving collection of data, there is the possibility of breach of confidentiality of data. Every precaution will be taken to secure your responses to ensure confidentiality.
