INTRODUCTION While many U.S. colleges and universities face pressure to accelerate their diversity,equity, and inclusion (DEI) outcomes, they are simultaneously being confrontedwith increased political challenges to equity-focused programs, curricula, andservices. From state bans on college DEI initiatives, the Supreme Court ruling onrace-conscious admissions, and renewed scrutiny around free speech, there is anurgency for institutions to navigate DEI with a student-first approach. As heightened political polarization threatens to eclipse many DEI efforts, highereducation leaders are more challenged than ever to deliver on the promise ofequal education. Hanover Research is dedicated to helping institutions understandstudent perspectives on educational inequities. In June 2023, Hanover conducteda survey of over 1,000 undergraduate students (ages 18–24) in the United Statesto understand their perceptions of DEI at colleges and universities. The survey findings highlight how student experiences differ across populationsand across institution types. They provide an important thematic snapshot — at anational level — of how college students view their institutions’ support for DEI,diversity in coursework, respect for different identities, and campus climate interms of belonging, safety, and support for all students.

Similar to the2022 survey results,students also believe their institutions can and must do more to improve belonging and connection, as equity gaps continue topersist across many student groups.
