Over the last three years, NITE has worked with dozens of campuses to administer the CECE surveys to their faculty, staff, and student populations to inform their inclusion and equity efforts. This was made possible by dedicated staff who have worked overtime and with investments from participating campuses across the nation that saw the need for the vision and leverage that the CECE surveys provide.

Beginning in the 2018-2019 academic year, NITE will be redirecting its energy to ensure the sustainability of the institute’s work and its impact. The institute will focus on developing long-term collaborations with campuses that are committed to extensive and continual cultivation of more inclusive and equitable environments for their community members. We encourage interested college and universities to engage in a long-term partnership with NITE, which can include the administration of the CECE surveys and a range of other services. For institutions that wish to continue to focus on single-year survey administration, NITE will continue to offer a self-administration option.

NITE Institutional Partnerships

For institutions that register for NITE institutional partnerships, NITE will (1) administer the suite of CECE surveys on your campus in the initial and final years of the partnership, (2) assist your campus in mobilizing your constituents around a common vision to create more inclusive and equitable environments, (3) support your campus in developing a plan to utilize CECE and other forms of assessment data to facilitate change, (4) provide professional development for faculty, staff, and/or students on your campus, and (5) offer ongoing consulting over the course of 3-5 years. Please contact nite@indiana.edu for more information or to discuss pursuing a partnership.

CECE Survey Self-Administration

Self-administering campuses must administer the CECE surveys themselves and analyze their own data—or hire a researcher to execute these tasks. For CECE survey self-administration, NITE will (1) provide the survey instrument(s) and (2) offer limited guidance around recruitment and improving response rates. If your campus wishes to request access to one or more CECE survey instruments, please visit our registration page.
