Climate Survey Summary
For the Spring 2012 University Climate survey, there were 96 respondents and 31 comments, which compare favorably with the 56 respondents for the Fall 2011 climate survey. Spring is kind in that the rating of most administrators improved over that of the Fall. In particular, the Spring/Fall rating of our President is 3.47/3.15, that of our Provost & Senior VPAA is 3.48/3.14, VP Business Affairs personnel change is 3.3/2.24, VP Admin. is 3.35/3.15, VP Research & Development is 3.91/3.58, VP Institutional Relations is3.11/3.0, Vice Provost/Dean is 3.8/3.57, and VP Student & Institutional Relations is 3.39/3.15. The Registrars Spring/Fall rating is 3.64/3.08, and Assistant VP Human Resources is 3.42/3.09. There is one dean with a Spring/Fall rating below 3.0 of 2.67/2.2 and one with a 2.67/3.71. All other administrator’s rating for the Spring semester is above 3.0 out of 5.
For Spring 2012, the lowest ratings for university issues were the following: “Financial Aid Office handles students well” rating of 2.37 out of 5, “college to college salary imbalance not a problem” issue rating of 2.3, and “salary at PV” issue rating of 2.26.
There were 31 comments from anonymous faculty members in the Spring 2012 survey from the 96 respondents. There were some positive and some negative comments about the survey instrument, one positive comment about the President, positive-more negative about one dean, and the rest of the comments were constructive criticisms, but hopeful and optimistic. Paraphrasing some of the comments are the following:
• For complaints, administrator would say “go work somewhere else.” • Some items on survey lack validity, too vague. • Often a tense and fearful atmosphere, with “admins” panicked over deadlines, giving departments very
short notice for due reports. Tendency to hire unqualified, and keep the clearly incompetent… • President does make an effort to clear up unfair situations when he is informed of them, and does listen. He
tries to maintain open communication. Not all upper administrators are so fair. • Really enjoy working for this institution, but salary is a major problem—unfair, highly disappointing, great
pay disparity, no way to bridge disparity, and the like. • PVAMU is an Administrator lead university, not a faculty lead university. • Concerns about shared governance, practically non-existent, … • Unfair to ask faculty to conduct research and then not offer them appropriate time or support to complete
project. • The climate has changed over the years. The focus is on pleasing students more than quality of instruction
and preparation of a professional practitioner. • Dean is a visionary. Dean is reactive, vindictive, retaliatory, a bully. Comments about other deans and
department heads were positive and non-specific in name. • I am glad this survey is being done. We need a more detailed set of questions for the department-head
level.
