The Climate Committee is a formal committee of the University of Chicago’s Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics (A&A) and the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics (KICP). The committee is composed of students, postdocs, faculty and staff. The core goal of the committee is to work together in a number of directions to improve the climate in A&A and KICP. The primary goal of this committee is to conduct regular climate surveys, process and report on the outcomes, and enact specific recommendations from the reports. The most recent climate survey report, based on data collected by University of Chicago’s Survey Lab, can be found here.
