The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ has been recognized as a “Great College to Work Forâ€� by the for the fourth consecutive year. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ received accolades in seven categories – the most categories to date – in addition to making the Honor Roll, a special distinction for institutions that were cited for recognition most often in their size group.

Now in its 10th year, the Chronicle’s 2017 “Great Colleges to Work Forâ€� program recognizes small groups of colleges for best practices and policies based on a survey of faculty and staff. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ was specifically recognized for confidence in senior leadership; respect and appreciation; supervisor and department chair relationships; work/life balance; collaborative governance; teaching environment; and tenure clarity and process.

“This recognition honors the excellent work of our faculty, staff and students who make the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ an extraordinary place to work and learn,â€� said Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ President Ana Mari Cauce. “The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ is not only a special place, but a special community of talented, dedicated people driven by a mission to make the world better. Being included among the ‘Great Colleges to Work For’ reflects our belief that a better world starts at home, in our own community, when we treat each other with respect, take inspiration from one another and collaborate in service of a shared vision.â€�

Approximately 600 Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ faculty and staff were randomly surveyed by the Chronicle and asked to evaluate the university in a variety of categories, including job satisfaction, professional development, compensation, leadership, respect, appreciation and policies.

The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an institutional audit that captured demographics and workplace policies, and a survey administered to faculty, administrators, and professional support staff. The primary factor in deciding whether an institution received recognition was the employee feedback, according to the Chronicle.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ is one of 79 colleges and universities honored across the U.S. Only 42 institutions made the Honor Roll.
