Abstract
We identify the need for baseline data on socio-demographic characteristics, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)-related characteristics of curricula and DEI-related programmatic supports of university programs in operations research and analytics. We describe a survey project to collect such baseline data and present preliminary results. These results provide the basis for tools and insights by which the profession may evaluate individual and organizational outcomes associated with DEI policies and enable meaningful comparisons between OR/analytics and other disciplines regarding progress towards DEI goals.
