Systemic Diversity Four indices: 1994: (5/22)² + (5/22)² + (5/22)² + (4/22)² + (2/22)² + (1/22)² = : (5/23)² + (5/23)² + (5/23)² + (5/23)² + (3/23)² =

Operationalizing variables for Climate Diversity Enrolment Profile: Low – less than 10% of FT grad students / total FT enrolment Medium – between 10% and 20% High – over 20% Undergraduate Profile: Low – less than 60% of FT undergrad students / total undergrad enrolment Medium - between 60% and less than 80% High – 80% or over Diversity Matrix Methodology 13

Operationalizing variables for Climate Diversity (continued) Student-Faculty contact: High – less than 20 – Total enrolment / # of FT faculty Medium – between 20 and 30 Low – over 30 Diversity Matrix Methodology 14
