Equity & Data Campus Experiences
SLIDE 14
Wendy Marson
Director of Institutional Research Inver Hills Community College & Dakota County Technical College
SLIDE 15 Lessons Learned
- Figure out the level of understanding across the group about data
- This is an iterative process – every time you introduce a new data set,
ensure that your group understands what you’re showing them – no one becomes an expert overnight
- +
- Anticipate very different interpretations of what you may think is
straightforward information – everyone’s lens on the data is informed by their unique experiences
- Be prepared to think about the data in different ways – the Diversity
Officers and the IR Directors should be talking early and often about the data and how to best help facilitate the discussions around it
- Understand the resistance to the data and try to get to the root cause –
it’s often rooted in fear
