Watch a 29-minute lecture from the Santa Fe Institute where Professor Kesh Govinder from the University of KwaZulu-Natal presents a quantitative approach to measuring the effectiveness of diversity, equity, and inclusivity (DEI) initiatives. Explore a simple distance formula developed to evaluate demographic progress in DEI programs, with specific application to higher education statistics in South Africa where such initiatives are traditionally known as 'transformation'. Gain insights into how this mathematical approach can be used as a monitoring tool for institutional diversity efforts, while considering its limitations and potential for improvement through further discussion and refinement. The presentation aims to spark dialogue about developing more sophisticated methods for assessing DEI program outcomes.
