2022 COACHE Survey
COACHE 2022 Timeline (screen reader accessible)
COACHE Surveys Benefit UB Faculty
The results of past COACHE surveys inform decisions and policy in support of faculty across all departments. Past surveys have contributed to the development of improved policies and programs that directly benefit faculty. The 2022 COACHE survey will help UB assess the effectiveness of these and other initiatives so that we better understand what we do well and identifiy areas where we can enhance policies and programs to make UB an even better place to work.
The resulting data from theses surveys will be shared with faculty in various forms, including faculty meetings, town halls, workshops and retreats. More information on how the survey is administered and how data are handled securely and anonymously by COACHE can be found here.
2022 Planning and Implementation Team
Since the beginning of the fall semester 2021, a dedicated team of faculty members, administrators and staff broadly representing faculty perspectives and areas of engagement across UB, have worked together to plan and prepare for a successfull launch of the 2022 survey. Members on this team are committed to raising awareness about the importance of COACHE, communicating directly with faculty to provide information, and to advocate for broad participation. After the report and anonymized data from COACHE are delivered back to UB, team members will support efforts to explore the results and advance the campus-wide conversations around the important issues faculty expressed through their survey responses.
