Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Campus Climate survey

image of computer

The University of Minnesota will be conducting a systemwide Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Campus Climate survey this semester. UMD is excited to see this effort underway as the results of the survey will be used to further our work as a campus in support of Goal 2 (Advance equity, diversity, inclusiveness, and social justice within the campus community). We will be receiving the results for our campus and plan to engage the UMD community in discussions of what we learn this coming fall.

We hope every UMD student will complete the survey. Hearing your voice is important!

Here are the basic facts about the survey.
- The survey will open the week of January 30.
- The survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
- Your response is confidential. No one from the University will see individual responses.
Faculty, staff, and students should not forward or share their email with the survey invitation from SoundRocket because the link provided is unique and can only be used once.

Questions about the survey may be directed to [email protected]

Talk - The Struggle for Democracy in Iran

Graphic "Women Life Freedom" and Arabic characters

This talk will provide an analysis of the current protests in Iran begun as a response to the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while in the custody of Iran’s morality police. The movement has become more than a call for women's rights but also the demand for the end of a regime. Dr. Khalil Dokhanchi, University of Wisconsin Superior, analyzes the character of this movement (the largest since the Green Movement/Persian Spring in 2009), its issues with the regime, and the potential for democratic change in Iran.
