| Abstract | Although the University of Virginia is a state-supported institution, only eight percent of the students are black and less than one percent of the faculty are black. During the summer of 1986, an ad hoc committee of students, faculty, and administrators was formed, with the goal of increasing racial and multi-cultural awareness and improving race relations at the university. To best determine the course of action, the committee decided that the first step was to identify minority needs and the way students viewed intergroup relations. Initially undergraduate students were selected as the target group, but as instrument design progressed, committee members realized the importance of obtaining the perceptions of graduate students, faculty, and administrators as well. The purpose of this paper is to present the development and refinement of the student instrument and its modification for other groups. The final instrument that was administered to students was a result of planning meetings that were held with nearly 30 student groups, committee meetings, and field tests. Results from the three instruments (administered to undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty and administrators) are briefly presented along with committee recommendations for future steps.
