Faculty Surveys

Faculty Work-Life Survey

 

In November of 2004, Provost Biddy Martin charged an Advisory Committee on Faculty Work Life “to examine the tenured and tenure-track faculty work life and working climate, with a special emphasis on the experiences of women faculty.” A Faculty Work Life (FWL) Survey grew out of this effort. The survey was designed to gather information concerning faculty work loads, faculty members’ feelings about the work they do and how Cornell does or does not support it, perceptions of the social climate of departments, and the ways in which life outside of Cornell meshes with faculty responsibilities. The FWL Survey was administered to Cornell faculty in the Fall of 2005.

The survey was developed after a series of seven focus groups with faculty. Selected "voices" from the groups speak to the issue of integration among faculty.

Survey of Faculty Interaction with Undergraduate Students

This survey was administered to Cornell faculty in the spring of 2004. The survey asks faculty about the nature and frequency of their out-of-class interactions with undergraduate students, the factors that support or inhibit these interactions, and the impacts of these interactions for faculty members.
