COACHE Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey

VCU is committed to cultivating a campus environment where faculty thrive. In pursuit of that goal, VCU participated in  the COACHE Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey. The Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey, administered by the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE) at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, is a rigorous and research-based survey designed to help universities meet the needs of their faculty and improve faculty life. 

The Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey has been administered at hundreds of universities, and the results include benchmarking against peer institutions. The survey provides key insights about faculty experiences in the academic workplace, perceptions of their working conditions, and opportunities for improvement. VCU's implementation of the COACHE Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey is guided by a diverse committee of VCU stakeholders who will ensure the process and resulting recommendations are meaningful for all VCU faculty.
