Inclusive Questions


Members of the Skidmore community often develop surveys internally to collect information from various constituents including students, staff, faculty, the community, and alumni.  The purpose of these recommendations is to provide a resource for those designing and deploying surveys that include questions about identity.  It is expected that guidance will evolve as identity categories continue to develop and we learn from each other and research.  These recommendations are not College or IRB policy.  You may choose to not use these suggestions.
