I was trying to think of ideas for questions to include in the Human Rights Survey for next Fall and I stumbled across a website from the University of Minnesota that has a "Taking the Human Rights Temperature of your School" survey in which students are asked to answer questions about human rights and opportunities offered on their campus using a 1-4 scale. A lot of the questions are interesting, and it would be nice if we could do this on UNC's campus next fall before we branch out into the greater Chapel Hill/Carrboro area. Having the results of this survey would be an interesting contribution to campus, something students would like to read about in the Daily TarHeel, and could even be used in classes on campus in which human rights are a major topic of study and discussion. The website with the information on the survey and the questions used is:

We wouldn't have to use the exact same quiz, but asking students on campus similar questions could be a good way to start off this project in the fall, and could also be used to test how willing the public is to offer their opinions on these issues.
