Campus climate refers to current dimensions of climate in the campus community in higher education institutions.[1] According to one definition offered by Jeni Hart and Jennifer Fellabaum, the dimensions of climate could refer to views, attitudes, psychology, behaviors, standards, perceptions and expectations.[2] Campus community could refer to employees such as faculty, staff, administrators, and students, individually or as a group.[2] Campus climate is often contrasted with campus culture. While climate and culture are sometimes used interchangeably, some authors mention overlaps while others define clear boundaries between the two.[2][3]
