Introduction

Shortly, all members of the bargaining unit will receive the survey: Quality of Professional Life & Administrative Assessment: Part II. (Part I – Quality of Life was completed and then published in 2017). Working with Senior Chapter Officers, members of Executive Board, and other senior members, Robert Compton, the Interim VP for Academics created a streamlined survey. Ethan Fox (UUP Oneonta Communications Committee) and Dr. Jen-Ting Wang were gracious with their time, advice, and technical programing. Dissemination and tabulation of the survey will be electronic and guarantees the anonymity of the respondent. Our survey is periodic and ongoing, and this is our seventh iteration and the last complete survey response rate was 48.7% (full-time).

Those to be evaluated include the Offices of the President, Associate/Vice Presidents, and Associate/Deans across all divisions. The current or immediate occupant of the position will be identified in the survey. Please note that the draft survey below is provided for informational purposes below.

The rationale for the conduct of this survey rests on several factors, amongst them:

1. UUP has an obligation to periodically survey its members about the quality of professional life and the performance of campus administrators;
2. All employees, including administrators, should be accountable and they should have the opportunity to received direct feedback on their performance;
3. Subordinate personnel are continuously evaluated;
4. UUP Oneonta has an on-going and established process and practice of periodic assessment of both professional life and the administration; and
5. Assessments of professional life and the administration provide useful feedback for both the administration and for UUP.
