American Association of University Professors
Results of 2009 Survey of UCO Administrators
In the Fall 2009 semester, AAUP-UCO sent out invitations to appoximately 435 full-time faculty members asking them to
participate in its annual online survey of administrators. The survey
asked general approval ranking questions about administrators and a question about the most important issue facing UCO faculty. As of December 9, 2009, 206 faculty members had responded. Below, you will first find the overall university-wide results followed by the individual college results, which also include the dean and associate dean questions. Faculty members also left comments. Survey comments can be found here. There is also a link to the comments at the end of the survey results. The Executive Committee of AAUP-UCO thanks those who participated in the survey.--Kurt Hochenauer, khochenauer@uco.edu
