Following faculty members' evaluation of the successes and shortcomings of the University's administration, the Faculty Senate met yesterday to examine results of the faculty survey compiled by the Faculty Recruitment, Retention & Welfare Committee. The complete results of the faculty survey outlined both satisfactions and concerns of the faculty, as well as the ways that the committee plans to address them, Committee Chair Jennifer Harvey said. "It was very inclusive," she said, noting that 61 percent of University faculty responded to the survey. The survey results covered a broad spectrum of issues, Harvey said, which were broken down into three categories: collegiality, academic community and Charlottesville community. While the survey showed faculty members felt collegiality, which included cooperative interaction between colleagues, "varied widely by school and department," she said, in terms of academic community "most members of the faculty were satisfied with the people around them: undergrad students, departmental faculty, faculty of their school." Many of the other issues addressed, such as faculty priorities and transparency concerns of general faculty, will require a response on an individual school basis, Faculty Senate Chair Ricardo Padron said.
