1998 Graduating Senior Survey: Campus Climate for Student Sub-groups

 Graduating seniors were asked to assess the supportiveness or discriminatory nature of campus climate using a five-point scale (strongly discriminatory=1...strongly supportive=5).

These tables are of frequencies and percentages supporting the tables with which means are given. Any significant results in a specific table are noted on the corresponding table of means.
