Beginning spring 2024, IU Indianapolis is participating in a survey of faculty job satisfaction. The survey research is part of a national program called the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE). COACHE has been operating from the Harvard Graduate School of Education since 2003.
In the past, the Office of Institutional Research and Decision Support (IRDS) has been responsible for administering our faculty satisfaction survey. We are excited this year to begin partnering with COACHE in this research to help us discover what we can do better to support our faculty in achieving their professional goals and receiving job satisfaction.
The survey will be sent mid-April. Full-time faculty including ranks for tenure-track, clinical, research, and lecturer faculty, as well as professors of practice will be invited to participate by a unique link sent to them directly from COACHE.
As data is received, we will report it here, including our strengths, areas for improvement, and a plan of action. IU Bloomington has been using COACHE for their last three surveys. Information and sample results can be found on this page.
