The issue
Day of Listening for Students (Oct. 28) UW-Madison campus climate inventory
Diversity Web (Student Affairs) |
Student Day of Listening and DiscoveryIndividual Wishes (10/28/03) Make experiences more relevant to career choice. Personal wish-more smiles, eye contact, and relationships. Campus wide-more diversity; involvement in social issues. More discussion-forums and classes discussion based; interactive classes. More people would know each other in a more meaningful way. Basic level acknowledgement interaction on campus; smiles, hellos, eye contact from strangers. Greater access to journal/data. Stronger commitment of interest for entire student body. More student involvement in working towards diversity goals. Have more publicly available options for students to express their voices. Campus calendar with ALL campus events. "Full disclosure!" More participation Level Bascom Hill. More students would get involved and take issues outside the classroom to improve diversity and social justice issues on campus and beyond. Making information about student organizations and ways to get involved accessible to students. More diversity in student, faculty, staff; greater commitment to comparative American Studies and diverse curriculum and programming. More respect, personal involvement, interaction among students, faculty, and staff. Such as, international students should be respected when they speak to one another in their own language other than English. Inclusiveness, respectfulness. Alcohol is a problem; there is too much and too much partying. Lessen alcohol consumption in general because when people get drunk, they do hurtful things. He has been yelled at numerous times by drunk people in his two months here. Increase diversity, offer a more diverse curriculum, such as a comparative American Studies program. People can interact in more small group gathering that would include all (cross-section) of students. Breakdown barriers between groups. Increase the awareness of opportunities for students to make change to increase the number of students who want to implement change. More campus wide forums like this. Making the bigger community smaller. Every student should have a community of 5-20 students that they feel a connection with and have a need to be in that group/community. Recognize that all students are apart of the campus community. We are a whole and must struggle as such to achieve important goals on campus. Administration would be more receptive and quicker acting to student ideas and suggestions. More acceptance and less discrimination on campus. Small communities (FIG's, BLC) explained to everyone and more prevalent. Increase support for individuals feed back to individual concerns, such as, job-hunting, too difficult, no support. Better traffic system to reduce the congestion. Campus could be more culturally sensitive. Advisors should be more knowledgeable about their jobs. To be better educated at SOAR about degree requirements. People to be a little more willing to learn about people of color issues. Also that the diversity on this campus would be increased. Just the knowledge of diversity issues-if it would increase. Opportunities to expand horizons and meet and greet. Diversity on campus is still not the segregated. Disagreements stay theoretical, not personal. People would acknowledge the need for student of color issues and social justice issues. To have better advisors at SOAR. More inclusive curriculum in all departments, such as English. Making a major like English, not white male centered. Integration and equity within studies, faculty, staff, etc. Also creating a comparative American studies department. Push system (UW) to review five-year evaluation of 2008 (Board of Regents and President) and start phase II including students as integral components of writing, developing, and structuring phase II. For there to be an integration of all diversity issues. In other words, not to look at "working on campus climate" as more of a racial/ethnic diversity problem, gay problem, or social class problem, etc. but seeing how all of these effect one another and overlap (looking at what "multicultural" really means). Encourage different ethnic groups on campus to interact with the white majority in addition to "recruiting" minorities. More racial/ethnic diversity, so that there are more people that can relate to my cultural background, also, that can relate to economically class diversity. Recruitment, involvement for minorities. That African-American students felt more welcomed. More cultural activities on campus. Please train your advisors (any section) to do their jobs-just their jobs-correctly. I saw this career advisor four years ago and she had no clue how to direct me to a double major (Scandinavian and ___?). Professors, though knowledgeable, do not always seem interested in teaching. Funding student organizations better (more $); keep class sizes down. Fine the way it is. I came for the pizza. From Non-Students For people not to experience blatant discrimination/racism here on campus. That students/faculty would be able to partake in a dialog about anything. To create a critical mass of greater diversity. To have more forums where people interact and get to know each other-not just student-student, but student-staff, etc. Everyone get out of their corner; students engage staff and faculty; cross boundaries of title; strong support system. That people meet and interact with each other with a profound sense of respect that transcends rank and other divisive factors. An openness where each can teach each other.
