This survey was created by the Culture and Climate subcommittee with feedback from the UIC Office of Diversity.\u00a0 The survey was created to better understand the culture and climate faculty and staff experience within the college and their respective departmental communities.<\/p>\n<p><em>At this time, we have an approximate 20% response rate. To add an incentive to completing the survey, the AHS department\/unit with the highest response rate will be awarded with some AHS swag!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Taking the survey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your participation in this survey is voluntary.\u00a0The survey questions do not ask for potentially identifying information.\u00a0You will be asked to indicate your department and\u00a0each question is optional. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.\u00a0 We ask all faculty and staff that would like to participate to submit their survey responses by Monday, February 28.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Integrity of the survey data<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The raw information will be collected via Qualtrics and kept confidential through a duo factor, password protected, BOX folder. Access to information will be restricted to\u00a0subcommittee members listed below. Any information the subcommittee uses for the completed report and recommendations will be generalized and no identifiable information will be included in the final report. Two years after the report is finalized, the sub-committee chair will delete all raw data from BOX and Qualtrics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis and dissemination<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The subcommittee will review and analyze the data to create a full report which will include recommendations for change. The report will be presented to the AHS dean, the associate deans, and department heads. The full report and recommendations will be presented at the AHS college meeting and shared with our AHS community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accountability of the recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The recommendations will include a plan for long term accountability. An accountability committee will be formed and comprised of a voted member from each AHS department\/unit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BEGIN THE\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuic.ca1.qualtrics.com%2Fjfe%2Fform%2FSV_6QkZMexxXQoYxSu&amp;data=04%7C01%7Ceachavez%40uic.edu%7Cd0250ea3a8434344fa0a08d9f620c5d4%7Ce202cd477a564baa99e3e3b71a7c77dd%7C0%7C0%7C637811443235599363%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=XAQTvOGfiGESrXLgF7bEZqe9wk1%2By5W877T64mjY1Ek%3D&amp;reserved=0\">SURVEY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance for your participation.
