Rankin & Associates specializes in assisting educational institutions in maximizing equity and inclusion through assessment, planning and implementation of intervention strategies. The firm provides institutions with an examination of their current campus climate and facilitates a process to form a foundation for initiatives leading to institutional transformation.

One of the primary missions of educational institutions is unearthing and distributing knowledge. Academic communities expend a great deal of effort fostering an environment where this mission is nurtured, with the understanding that institutional climate has a profound effect on the academic community’s ability to excel in learning, research and scholarship.

Recent investigations suggest that the climate on campuses not only affects the creation of knowledge, but also has a significant impact on members of the academic community who, in turn, contribute to the creation of the campus environment.

Therefore, preserving a climate that offers equal learning opportunities for all students, academic freedom for all faculty, and an inclusive, equitable work setting for all staff in an environment free from discrimination should be one of the primary responsibilities of educational institutions.
