The University Senate is conducting another survey among the faculty and professional staff in order to determine priority concerns for the University.

All responses are non-attributable, and are only summarized at the highest organizational level (e.g., College).
This year, the survey is available only on-line at

Please take the time to respond. The survey should take only about 15-20 minutes to complete, and a high response rate will make the results more meaningful.
