Diversity Initiatives at Work

Diversity Inventory (DI) Overview

Diversity Inventory (DI) is revolutionizing the way we do business. The University of Wisconsin – Madison developed DI as a tool for collecting, tracking, and reporting on key data elements related to diversity initiatives across campus. This tool has benefited from years of continuous revision and improvement to provide the most value to the university. This centralized directory collects and reports diversity data, ultimately affecting change by connecting students, faculty, and staff to initiatives that are creating a more inclusive campus community. Moreover, it will standardize and streamline the reporting of activities at the University that focus on diversity, inclusion, and climate.
