To Whom It May Concern:
Hello. Our names are Carrie P. Mastley and Lauren Geiger, academic librarians at Mississippi State University Libraries. Currently, we are conducting a mixed-methods study in order to explore academic library
employees' -- specifically at Carnegie Research Institutions and at all ranks (e.g., staff, faculty, administration, etc.) -- attitudes regarding their overall level of satisfaction with the implementation of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives
at their place of work.
Participation is minimal and requires the answering of a questionnaire, which should take no longer than 15-20 minutes to complete. Participation is completely voluntary and anonymous, and responses will only
be used for scholarly purposes. This research has been reviewed and granted Exempt Determination according to Mississippi State University's Human Research Protection Program (HRPP)/Institutional Review Board (IRB) procedures for research involving human subjects
(Protocol ID IRB-20-521).
