Discussions of climate survey results to continue in August
On June 14, the University of Florida released the results of the Faculty and Staff Climate Survey conducted in the fall of 2015. Town hall meetings led by Sue Rankin of Rankin & Associates, the consulting firm engaged to coordinate the survey, were held to discuss high-level summaries of the findings from a university-wide perspective. A report of the findings may also now be found on the survey website.
Additional town hall meetings with Rankin & Associates will be held again in September for those who are not on campus over the summer. No registration is needed to attend. Sessions will be held on:
- September 29, 8:30 to 10:00 a.m., J. Wayne Reitz Union Chamber
- September 29, 10:30 a.m. to noon, J. Wayne Reitz Union Chamber
Starting last month and continuing through the fall, faculty and staff forums moderated by members of UF’s Climate Study Work Group and the President’s Council on Diversity are also providing the campus community with opportunities to review and discuss the results, to share their thoughts on the results most salient to them, and to begin to brainstorm action items and next steps.
Faculty and staff may save a spot to attend one of these sessions by clicking on the registration link in the table below, or they are welcome to stop by to participate:
