Faculty survey notes lack of interaction among colleagues

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (Exponent) - The results of a survey for faculty members show a need to enhance interaction among colleagues, especially in their own departments.

The main goals of the survey are to improve the ability of the University to retain a talented and diverse faculty and to enhance the quality of work life, said Kiernan Mathews, director of the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education at Harvard University.

“Ultimately, we want to know what changes we can make that will yield the greatest improvements in faculty satisfaction, retention and engagement,” Mathews said.
