2008-2009 Faculty/Staff Survey Results
OVERVIEW
From December 1 to December 12, 2008, all faculty and staff at Tri-County Technical College were surveyed by the Institutional Research Department. The areas covered include faculty development interest and activities, feedback on employee work conditions and employee support, and satisfaction with the Information Technology support and services.The survey was web-based and participation was solicited by sending an individual email to all College personnel followed by a reminder email to non-respondents.
A total of 518 individuals were invited to participate, 272 responded, 12 declined to participate, and 234 did not respond. The overall response rate was approximately 53%. The survey was designed to present questions based on participants' answers during the survey, so not all questions were asked of all participants.
