Abstract
This research
looks at diversity of students, faculty, administrators and staff
at St. John’s University in 2001 and 2006. Gender, ethnic and
religious diversity are addressed for each of the four
groups. In addition, family income, geographical origin,
retention and graduation rates are analyzed for students. Some
perceptions of students relating to diversity are also highlighted,
based on results from the following national surveys: National
Survey of Student Engagement (2006), Your First College Year (2005)
and HERI Faculty Survey (Fall 2004/Spring 2005). This study should
enhance awareness of the levels of diversity of each group and of
changes over the five year period, in context of the University’s
commitment to the value of diversity.
