Climate Survey• Electronic survey with three follow-ups sent to full-time tenured

and tenure-track faculty on campus during Fall 2012 semester

• 216/318 responded (67.92%), although only 198 actually completed the survey (62.26%)

• Survey respondents generally match population by discipline, although slight overrepresentation of respondents from the sciences (44.1% in sample, 38.6% in population) and underrepresentation from professional disciplines (22.9% in sample, 28.0% in population)

• Survey respondents generally match population by rank, with the largest difference being among associate professors (48.6% of sample, 45.0% in population)

Climate in Department and at CollegeDepartment Climate College Climate

Department ClimateDepartment Climate Indexes

Index details• Positive climate index (alpha = .917)

1. I am treated with respect by colleagues.2. I feel that my colleagues value my research.3. I feel like I “fit” in my department.4. Colleagues in my department regularly solicit my opinion about work-related

matters (such as teaching, research, and service).5. I have received positive feedback about my research from department colleagues.6. Faculty in my department recognize the contributions I make to my field.7. I would be happy to spend the rest of my career in this department.8. It would take a lot to get me to leave this department.

• Collegiality index (alpha = .886)1. Faculty in my department are supportive of one another.2. Faculty in my department are sometimes rude to one another. (Reverse coded)3. Faculty in my department enjoy working together.4. Tension among faculty in my department makes working here uncomfortable.

(Reverse coded)5. Faculty in my department spend time to get to know one another.

• Negative climate index (alpha = .824)

1. I feel excluded from an informal network in my department.2. I have to work harder than my departmental colleagues to be perceived as a

legitimate scholar.3. I do a great deal of work that is not formally recognized by my department.4. I encounter unwritten rules concerning how one is expected to interact with

colleagues.5. I feel isolated in my department.

• Transparency index (alpha = .924): 1. I feel I can voice my opinions openly in my department.2. Major decisions are made with adequate input from the faculty.3. It is clear how resources (e.g., space, funded research assistants, etc.) are

allocated.4. Major decisions are made and implemented with adequate explanation.5. It is clear how teaching assignments are made.6. It is clear how committee assignments are determined.7. My department operates in a transparent way.

Geography of Family Influence:Did having a spouse/partner in the area affect your decision to…

Apply to TCNJ? Accept at TCNJ?

Page 20: TCNJ Advancement Program (TAP)

So is our public, PUI friendlier?•Better than the pipeline (in most cases)•Perceptions of climate do not vary by

gender•Promotion process does not vary by gender,

objectively or subjectively•Work-Family balance remains a problem•Women have greater caregiver obligations•Dual career issues are critical for women in

science
