Pomona campus climate survey results show dissatisfaction

On Nov. 2, Pomona College and Interwoven Insights (formerly Rankin Climate) consulting firm published results from an anonymous campuswide ‘Campus Climate’ survey in a 107-page report. Respondents’ concerns ranged from students of certain identities feeling unsafe on campus — namely Jewish and Muslim or Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) students — to issues of sexual harassment. Roughly 45% of the campus community — or 1,259 people — took the 126-question survey last spring, marking 18% higher turnout compared to the last time a similar survey was conducted in 2020, according to Pomona’s press release. The survey was facilitated by a working group of 20 faculty members, students, staff and college administrators called the ‘Climate Survey Working Group,’ and was generated by Interwoven Insights. Several student groups reported concerns around religious identity.
