Engagement Opportunities

During spring 2023, we kicked off our campus engagement program for the COACHE Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey with an open forum with the Provost and University Governance leaders. During this forum we reviewed goals for the initiative, shared additional data and the plan of action, and discussed ongoing initiatives that respond to areas of concern. More forums were hosted in February/March in all academic units.

Forum on faculty satisfaction and path forward with the Provost and Governance Leaders

Friday, February 17th, 2-3:30PM

Slawson Hall G192 Beren Petroleum Conference Center

Zoom Link: https://kansas.zoom.us/j/94335824588

The main purpose of this and future listening sessions is to elicit your ideas around solutions. We want to be clear, we do not expect you to do the work of solving the problems the survey has identified. Rather, we want these forums to be an opportunity for dialogue with you all as our colleagues. We want to engage you, with your incredible intellectual gifts and creativity, and ensure you have some agency in any solutions put forward. As co-leaders of our institutional response to the COACHE survey we want to hear from each of you.

 

Additional Engagement Forums

If you cannot join us for the public forum on Feb 17, members of the Advisory Team will host smaller forums in individual academic units during lunch hours over February and early March. These meetings will also be opportunities to share COACHE survey information relating to disciplinary groups. Schedule below.
