2023 Diversity & Equity Survey Report

Introduction to the 2023 Diversity & Equity Survey Report

Students, faculty, and employees who feel a sense of belonging are more likely to persist and engage, leading to better academic outcomes and higher employee satisfaction, respectively. Moreover, an inclusive climate is essential for ensuring that all members of the community can bring their best selves to learn and work. Northeastern University administered the Higher Education Data Sharing (HEDS) Diversity and Equity Campus Survey to students, faculty, and staff. The HEDS survey asked respondents for their confidential perceptions of how Northeastern supports diversity and equity. The survey also measures the perceptions, or attitudes about the university environment, such as how inviting, inclusive, or diverse the university feels or what students, faculty, or staff observe across the global network.  On this webpage, you may access the 2023 DEI Survey findings.
