Shared Governance

One of the categories evaluated in the Employee Engagement Survey is called "Shared Governance." The questions that address this issue include:

* The role of faculty in shared governance is clearly stated and publicized. (49%)
* Faculty are appropriately involved in decisions related to the education program. (52%)
* Faculty, administration, and staff are meaningfully involved in institutional planning. (37%)

The number in parentheses indicates the percent of respondents who either agreed or strongly agreed with this statement. The overall score in this category was 46% positive and 14% negative.

Employees who were most satisfied in this area are either those who (1) are 55-59 years of age, (2) have been here less than two years, or (3) expect to stay 6-9 years.

The Employee Relations Committee and the HR Strategy Team will be analyzing the data further to determine specific things we can do to improve shared governance.
