Data

Between the Fall of 2021 and Spring 2022, the student members of the DEI in Tech collective, with support from BU Spark! and IS&T, launched an effort to collect baseline data on the state of the DEI in tech community at Boston University. This included the compilation of representation data of enrolled students in computing and data science majors as well as a community-wide DEI climate survey completed by over 640 students.

The full DEI in Tech Student Climate Survey Report is here!

Review the general analysis and interact with the data.

Comments from that survey and reactions to them are presented below.

We are excited to share this information with the broader community and encourage you to share your thoughts and comments on this information, your ideas for how we can address issues that were raised, and anything you’d like to share on the topic. You can share your thoughts with us directly at deitech@bu.edu or by posting a comment on the Feedback page (you have the option to submit anonymously).

Our goal is to collect data bi-annually and use it to measure progress and focus the DEI Tech Collective’s future efforts.
