Institutional Surveys

The Office of Assessment periodically conducts surveys of faculty, staff, and students to support institutional assessment, planning, and decision making.  Recent surveys include the Campus Climate for Diversity study, the CIRP Freshman Survey, and the UCLA Faculty Survey.  Check this site regularly as new survey results are added when they become available.  Information about current survey results is available below.

Campus Climate for Diversity Study

During Spring 2007, the university conducted a campus-wide survey of students, faculty and staff regarding perceptions, experiences, and attitudes related to diversity.  Results were compiled separately for each group and may be obtained by selecting from the following reports:

CIRP FRESHMAN Survey

UNC began participating in the Cooperative Institutional Research Program’s Freshman Survey during summer 2007.  Developed by researchers at UCLA’s Higher Education Research Institute (HERI), the survey provides a profile of the UNC’s entering freshman class.

UCLA Faculty Survey

Since 1989, UCLA’s HERI has conducted a triennial survey of the nation’s college and university faculty.  The most recent survey occurred in 2007.  23,887 faculty from 212 institutions participated in the 2007 survey, including 194 UNC faculty.  The survey provides information about faculty experiences, opinions, teaching practices, and job satisfaction.  The initial results provide an overall description of how UNC faculty’s responses compared to the national sample.  An institutional peer comparison report has been ordered from UCLA and results will be posted when they become available.

UNC ALUMNI SURVEY

UNC’s Career Services Center conducts an annual survey of all UNC alumni who completed a degree during the previous 12 months. Information about the survey is available at Career Services.
