Campus climate is defined by the University of California system as “the current attitudes, behaviors, and standards of faculty, staff, administrators, and students concerning the level of respect for individual needs, abilities, and potential.” The Campus Climate Commission plays an integral part in making sure our students feel safe and welcome, working to facilitate conversations that re-center the narrative on our most marginalized students. Here at UCI, every student deserves the opportunity to thrive in a safe, conducive learning environment – to discover themselves without fear of judgement. Through collaborative work with campus partners, the Campus Climate Commission encourages students from all different backgrounds and walks of life to come together in harmony and build a more diverse and inclusive UC Irvine for our Anteater community.

The Campus Climate Commission will also be responsible for advising the President on campus matters related to campus safety and, alongside the Office of the External Vice President, regularly reviewing data on the UC Irvine Police Department. Additionally, alongside other relevant ASUCI commissions, the Campus Climate Commission will host town halls, forums, and community meetings on topics related to campus climate as necessary, as well as administer a bi-annual survey on campus climate on the UC Undergraduate Experience Survey’s off-years.
