| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to identify factors that create a positive climate for diversity and to demonstrate how these
factors predict outcomes related to achieving a positive campus climate for diversity. Based on survey data collected from
437 staff members employed at a large, public, predominantly White university in the Midwest, results suggest that the institution’s
ability to achieve a positive climate for diversity reflects not only the personal characteristics of the staff member (race,
gender, education level, and age) but also their perceptions of their immediate work environment. Implications are discussed. |
