Finally, the survey alsoyielded valuable suggestions from students to promote a diverse, equitable, and inclusive academic andsocial environment at the university. The findings from this study also support the idea that students withdifferent ethnic and social identities can have different views and experiences regarding diversity, inclusion,and equity in their campus. I. IntroductionOver the last few decades, the demographic makeup of the United States has changed significantly. Today,the United States is more racially and ethnically diverse than ever before - a trend that is projected tocontinue over
