Each one is a unique individual, they all aspire to live life, to use their talents, to support their families and care for their children and elders, to enjoy peace and security and to make tomorrow better. Thanks to science and technology, human society is able to solve problems such as feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless or developing more just conditions of life, but stubbornly fails to accomplish this. How can a booming economy, the most prosperous and global ever, still leave over half of humanity in poverty? Injustice is rooted in a spiritual problem, and its solution requires a spiritual con­ version of each one's heart and a cultural conversion of our global society so that humankind, with all the powerful means at its disposal, might exercise the will to change the sinful structures afflicting ourworld."

  • University of Cincinnati 2016 Campus Climate Survey Results Summary
    University of Cincinnati 1 University of Cincinnati 2016 Campus Climate Survey Results Summary The State of Ohio’s Changing Campus Culture Initiative seeks to strengthen its ability to better respond to, and ultimately prevent, sexual assault on the state’s college campuses. In the spring 2016, all Ohio campuses were encouraged to participate in recommendation #1 in the Changing Campus Culture report: use data to guide action. In addition to completing a comprehensive campus climate survey, Ohio campuses were also asked to disseminate 15 common benchmark questions. The purpose of the benchmark questions was to provide the Ohio Department of Higher Education with a common set of data to measure statewide progress in addressing prevention and response to sexual violence, and to track trends over time. While campuses were free to determine which climate survey best fit their campus community, the benchmark questions were the same to allow for comparison between one campus and others of similar type. Methodology and Sample Data collection began in the 2016 spring semester and ended by June 2016. Institutions collected data in various ways, including through paper surveys and electronically. All responses were anonymous. Each participating school was asked to gather data on the benchmark questions along with provided demographic questions. Response scales for the benchmark questions and demographic questions varied slightly for some institutions, and any questions with substantively different response scales were excluded from the aggregate analyses. 14 public university main campuses, 23 community/state/technical colleges, and 35 private institutions participated in the survey. The overall sample included 23,240 students across the sampled 71 higher education institutions.
