The Campus Climate Study Committee was originally formed at the request of President M. Roy Wilson under the leadership of Associate Provost for Diversity & Inclusion/Chief Diversity Officer Marquita T. Chamblee. The committee was charged with assessment, development and implementation of a campus climate study. This group has engaged members of the WSU community for input from all levels and perspectives to assist in the study design and roll-out process.

In the summer of 2020, the committee was aligned to support President Wilson's newly formed Social Justice Action Committee. These volunteer committee members are working together to help shape a safe and inclusive atmosphere for all Warriors to learn, teach and work.
