Anti-Racism Demographic Dashboard
The Anti-Racism Demographic Dashboard reflects the access, achievement and representation opportunities on which Drexel's Anti-Racism Task Force based their recommendations for the University. Using data from Tableau, the dashboard conveys racial demographic trends and breakdowns among undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and professional staff over the course of the past few years. We will continue to build out this dashboard with more data for the University to use as a reference and accountability measure as we review and monitor the progress of the implementation plans that are developed based on the Anti-Racism Task Force’s final recommendations.
