Administrative Review Process Report 1. Anonymity prevented a one-to-one mapping of faculty participating and the completed surveys. “Link tracking” by the “mass ” program provided a list of faculty who clicked on the link and opened the survey. Only these faculty could have submitted a survey (and all those who submitted a survey must be on this list). 2. The number of anonymous surveys completed correlates closely with the number of faculty who participated: Chancellor’s Survey: 221 Surveys*; 219 Faculty Provost’s Survey: 188 Surveys; 196 Faculty VP/Dean’s Survey: 87 Surveys; 88 Faculty * 1 blank survey; 2 with comments only; 2 surveys were reported as 2 nd response by submitter.

Survey Distribution by College: ________________________________________ CASB CEC ________________________________________ Chancellor 96* 125 Provost VP/Dean 87 - Faculty** ** # Faculty opening link to Chancellor’s Survey * 1 blank survey

With due consideration of the integrity of the MS&T Faculty, and of the Review Process data (which demonstrate a close correlation between the number of submitted surveys and the number of participating faculty) the best judgement of the Administrative Review Committee is that the three Administrative Reviews and the comments contained therein represent a consistent response of the faculty which can be used for this purpose.

Proposed Motion by RP&A The Faculty Senate, having reviewed the spring semester 2016 Administrative Review process and procedural data that indicates that the number of invalid responses is likely low, and relying on the essential integrity of the faculty who took the survey, holds that the results reflect the views of the S&T Faculty who participated in the survey.
