Analyzes faculty response to survey
At its April 17 meeting, Dr. Selona Bliss reported to the District Governing Board on the results of a faculty survey that focused on the Administration’s decision to add an additional week to each semester. There were 101 total responses: 65 from full-time faculty and 36 from part-time faculty.
Part 1 of her report, which runs about five minutes, appears below.
Among the findings: (1) 62 of 102 support the proposed change. (2) 46 faculty felt there should be research on student impact of the change before moving forward and an additional 16 wanted to see research on the impact to retention. (3) 54 faculty said they were upset by the way in which the administration initially announced its plan. 30 faculty did not know about the initial decision.
There are several other findings discussed contained in the video tape below.
