CHEP Survey:
-
Dean Rich reviewed that the purpose of the survey was to assist in the
formulation of goals for the future of the College and to determine how
members of the CHEP community see our progress as a college.
-
Goals for the college will also be developed at the individual unit level
through the offices of the Directors and Chairs. A leadership retreat
will be held later this year to refine these goals with the objective of
having a college-wide plan by the end of the year.
-
Pam Brown presented a draft report on the survey. She noted that the response
rate was slightly better than 46% and that the sample was fairly representative
of the CHEP population. Pam will present a summary of the results
at the CHEP Forum; the full report will be available on the web following
the meeting.
-
There were a number of inquiries regarding confidentiality of the survey.
Dean Rich reported that the survey itself was administered by the Center
for Applied Demography and Survey Research (CADSR) following their protocols
for protection of human subjects and confidentiality.
-
Responses aggregated by unit will be made available to Directors and Chairs
only in cases where individual respondents cannot be identified (e.g.,
due to a small number of responsdents in particular demographic categories).
These reports will be used to help individual units set goals for future
improvement. The Council will work to follow-up the survey in order
to clarify the meaning of some of the results.
NEW BUSINESS
-
Chair Sestak reported on the plan for the CHEP Forum which will be held
on 11/17/00 in 007 Willard Hall Education Building. In addition to discussion
of the survey, new colleagues will be introduced and an effort will be
made to encourage wider participation in the College Council. Pam Brown
distributed the current draft of the CHEP survey. There was some discussion
of the format of some instructions and questions. Pam reported that the
survey was distributed on-line on October 23; members of the CHEP community
had until Nov. 1 to respond.
-
Next meeting of the College Council will be on Wednesday, Dec. 13 at noon
in Allison Hall, room TBA.
