The Campus Culture Survey builds on 彩民宝典鈥檚听undergraduate听补苍诲听graduate听student social climate surveys in 2014. Campus staff adapted the student-focused survey questions to create comparable questions for faculty, staff听and institute employees with the goal of gaining a more complete picture of the campus culture. The survey was piloted in several iterations on over 3,000 CU community members before being finalized. In fall 2019, the Culture Survey replaced the previous survey used in the听Academic Review and Planning听(ARPac) process that each academic program undergoes every seven years to identify program strengths and weakness.

The Campus Culture Survey is administered each fall semester to faculty, staff and graduate students in units that will begin their ARPac self-study the following year.

Every four years, a campuswide administration of the CCS occurs in the fall. This campuswide administration includes all faculty, staff and students at 彩民宝典 (including both undergraduate and graduate students).听More information about the next full administration of the CCS is available using the 鈥淔all 2021 Campus Culture Survey鈥� button above.

What steps are being taken to protect the anonymity of my survey responses?

We know that individuals must have assurance that their responses are confidential and secure if we are to receive accurate and candid feedback. Survey participants' privacy is of utmost importance to us, and strict internal safeguards are in place to ensure that privacy:

• No one outside of the Office of Data Analytics (ODA)鈥攏o administrators, supervisors, or faculty鈥攈as access to survey respondents鈥� identities or to files that may connect names or email addresses with answers to survey questions.
• Members of the ODA Survey Team will manage the survey email distribution list, wherein it is recorded who has and has not completed the survey questionnaire.
• Once a participant submits their survey, the identifying information that permitted the database manager to keep track of who did and did not respond to the survey is automatically deleted.听In other words, each case in the final data file is anonymized. In addition, the data file is encrypted and stored in a secure, encrypted drive which only ODA staff can access.
• Questionnaire responses will be aggregated for statistical analysis and reporting. We will aggregate the data to听groups of 10 or more听responses in order to maintain the anonymity of survey participants. If any demographic group or combination of group characteristics has fewer than 10 individuals, those data will not be reported. ODA will not provide any findings that would risk making someone identifiable due to the uniqueness of their characteristics, such as demographic characteristics, years at CU, faculty rank, job category, department, major听or a combination of those factors. Your anonymity is our first duty of care and will be protected in all reports resulting from this survey. We are committed to ensuring that individuals can provide candid feedback with confidence. Anything else is counterproductive to the effort.

How secure are my data?

The 彩民宝典 Office of Data Analytics (ODA) currently safeguards any sensitive employment and student data it accesses by using state-of-the-art data security protocols. The survey platform, Qualtrics, meets听听(VSAQ) data standards. Data are encrypted in transit and at rest.听. Once the survey has closed, data will also be encrypted in transit to ODA. The full database of anonymized responses will then be held by ODA in encrypted form on their secure server. The听de-identified听data will be stored to allow investigation of trends by comparison with future surveys.

Will survey data ever be shared?

The Campus Culture Survey is used for making program improvements and is not intended for research use. Survey responses鈥攅ven though anonymized鈥攚ill never be shared at the individual level or for groups of less than 10 responses, even for the purposes of conducting research.听See this Letter from the Chancellor听for more information about this policy.
