NEW DIP INITIATIVE TYPE

To fully capture all of the different diversity related efforts on campus, especially institutional research and assessments, a new initiative type has been added to the Diversity Inventory Program (DIP)! The new Data Analysis, Assessment, and Evaluation initiative will allow DIP reporters to expand on their activities and efforts inputted into the database outside of the four initiative types that already exist: Support Services, Program, Event, and Research.

This initiative type encompasses reports, analyses, data visualizations and key performance indicators, created using expertise in institutional data sources and operational practices, to enable the evaluation of the success of diversity-related institutional efforts at UW-Madison.

We hope that this additional update to the database will encourage more reporters to input the excellent work that is being done across the campus community! Please continue to report information into DIP, as this effort is essential to creating the best database possible!
