Differences by Gender
Males and females share similar levels of satisfaction regarding parking and accommodations for bicyclists. In every other case, however, females were less satisfied than males. The differences are especially noteworthy concerning the following issues: child care (15% of females vs. 29% of males were satisfied), professional and personal counseling (63% of females vs. 72% of males were satisfied), ethnic/racial diversity (24% of females vs. 44% of males were satisfied), campus members’ acceptance of those who are different from them (32% of females vs. 56% of males were satisfied), and personal safety (82% of females vs. 95% of males were satisfied).
Differences by Race
For several of these issues (child care, counseling services, accommodations for bicyclists, and bus service), the number of Asian Americans and underrepresented minorities who answered the question is too small to analyze. In the case of personal safety, answers from the three groups are virtually the same. Otherwise, Asian Americans were less satisfied than the others with dining facilities (33% were satisfied compared to 62% of underrepresented minorities and 56% of Caucasians) and recreational facilities (64% are satisfied compared to 79% of underrepresented minorities and 72% of Caucasians). Underrepresented minorities were less satisfied than the others with the following cultural issues: cultural activities (46% were satisfied compared to 64% of Asian Americans and 66% of Caucasians), ethnic/racial diversity (14% were satisfied compared to 38% of Asian Americans and 39% of Caucasians), and campus members’ acceptance of those who are different from them (24% were satisfied compared to 41% of Asian Americans and 50% of Caucasians).
Differences by rank and school are less relevant for this question and the next, so these analyses are not included in the report.
