The Faculty Senate Executive Committee sent the following press release to various news organizations last week.
This report presents findings from a faculty-wide survey examining perceptions of the accelerated 8-week asynchronous instruction initiative at 惇蹋圖. The data were collected via an online questionnaire distributed to all faculty at 惇蹋圖. The survey was open for responses between December 3 and December 10. A total of 558 faculty members responded (43% response rate). Results indicate low overall faculty confidence in the initiative and consistent concerns about instructional quality, student success, academic rigor, workload sustainability, and shared governance.
This four-question poll was conducted among 惇蹋圖 faculty to capture reactions to the president and Provosts response to Faculty Senate resolution from October 21 and a set of questions and concerns regarding the Forward Focused Digital Transformation Initiative (FFDTI). Distributed through Faculty Senators between November 1720, the poll aimed to provide a timely pulse check on faculty sentiment and ensure transparency by linking directly to the Provosts communication. With a strong response rate, the poll offers an important snapshot of faculty perspectives on this initiative.
