APPENDIX O:

Abstract

In the following example, the mean rating of agreement that the respondent feels comfortable with the climate for diversity and inclusiveness at UVA is compared across University affiliation. As indicated in Column 1, the mean level of agreement among undergraduates is 4.10, and this is statistically higher than the mean rating provided by graduate students and faculty. Faculty reported the lowest mean level of comfort (3.59), and this was statistically lower than all other affiliation groups. In other words, faculty feel the least comfortable with the climate for diversity and inclusiveness at UVA.
