Abstract
This study evaluates how the true diversity of the student, faculty, and entire Emory community, according to the sample, is in the perspective of the individuals. The data for this study was acquired from a survey that was composed with the participants’ self-report of their demographic attributes– gender, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, political view, and their socioeconomic status– and their personal rating of importance of each attribute into the notion of diversity. With the data sample, this study utilized the Simpson’s Diversity Index and modified it in a way to get the result of the probability that two individuals randomly selected from a population are different and with the calibration factor– relative weight values– that represent individuals' own definition of diversity.
