Dr. Thomas Pavkov, director of the ISPR and one of the principal investigators of the PUC Campus Climate Assessment Study, spoke last week with the editor of the PUC Chronicle about the tentative results of the recently fielded Campus Climate Assessment Survey.
Dr. Pavkov gave a broad overview of the study process, detailing the steps taken to establish campus themes around which survey instrument questions were then fashioned. Addressing in particular the full-time staff component of the faculty-staff study, Dr. Pavkov noted what he considered to be an “excellent response [rate]” from full-time PUC employees. He also commented on the analysis, recommendation-formulization, and implementation processes by which the PUC Multi-Cultural Campus Council and Senior Leadership members will speak to issues arising from the survey data.

With the closing of the Campus Climate Assessment Survey earlier this week, the Project Team members began the work of tallying and analyzing the response data. Since the fielding of the Web-based survey instrument on March 18, hundreds of PUC faculty and staff employees representing each school of the university took the opportunity to contribute to a better understanding of the organizational environment of PUC.
The present task of the Project Team is fairly straightforward — transforming raw response data into scientifically comprehensible and usable material appropriate for analysis. From this point, various cross-tabulations will be carried out in order to determine the presence of any observable and statistically significant trends. The survey study will culminate in a written report and a public presentations of the study findings. The date and location of these presentations will announced in conjunction with the sponsoring client, the PUC Multi-cultural Campus Council.
As has been stated repeatedly throughout this study, data will be reported out only in the aggregate and no individually identifiable response data will be described.
