5. The Tenth University Senate Survey results now available.
The University Senate has completed its analysis of the results of the 2003 faculty and staff survey. The report is available electronically at:
http://ws.cc.sunysb.edu/doit/campusonly/
The report summarizes the major findings of the survey, and contains an analysis of the results in each major area of the survey. When possible, the survey report compares the 2003 survey results with those of the most recent survey (1997).
Results are tabulated in both general categories (e.g., maintenance) to which all responders contributed and categories relating to the stated affiliation of the responder. A guiding principle in the writing of the report was to maintain the anonymity of responders. In keeping with past surveys, selected comments are included in the final report. These comments represent general themes of the responders, and have been edited to remove any identifying information.
