Past Surveys

Please note: In some cases, there are differences between the 2017 figures cited in the executive summary released in 2023, and the original results from the 2017 survey, to which we link below. In 2022-23, the survey was administered to faculty, staff and graduate students. In 2017, the survey was also administered to undergraduate students. To make results comparable between the two surveys, the 2017 data shown in 2022-23 executive summary have been updated to exclude undergraduate students and reflect a weighting approach that excludes undergraduate students. Additional information about methodology for the latest survey is available in the 2022-23 executive summary at the link above.

As announced when the latest survey was launched, undergraduate students were not included in the 2022 survey due to low, single-digit participation rates in the previous two surveys that made it difficult to determine actionable results. The student voice and perspective are critical to University leaders, who regularly seek undergraduate student input through other surveys, including the Food and Housing Needs Survey, the Health and Wellness Survey, and the Student Experience Survey.
