<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I am pleased to inform you of an important opportunity you will be offered to participate in a survey of faculty job satisfaction. This survey research is part of a national program
called the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE), which has been operating from the Harvard Graduate School of Education since 2003. Participation will entail completing a 25-minute, web-based survey; your unique link to the survey
should have been emailed to you from COACHE recently, or in the next few days. COACHE will not use any name or email address for any purposes except for this research.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">While there are many surveys that faculty are asked to complete, this one was designed entirely to determine your current job satisfaction compared to faculty at peer institutions.
Your views are especially important to us as we strive to attract and retain the best and brightest scholars and teachers, increase the satisfaction of all faculty, and to make Queens College a great place to work.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">In a process approved by Harvard’s and CUNY's institutional review board, COACHE will provide our campus with their summary analysis, as well as the confidential
unit-record database, stripped of names and e-mail addresses. The data provided to Queens College will be received and kept on a secure server by Margaret McAuliffe, Director of Institutional Research.
<b>Neither I, nor any other administrator, staff or faculty member outside Institutional Research</b> <b>at Queens College will have access to the unit-record data.</b> IR will explore and analyze broad patterns in the data to assist with planning and developing
improved academic policies and practices across campus. To protect confidentiality and guarantee that the results of this survey cannot influence personnel decisions about individual faculty members, IR staff will disseminate survey results only with data
aggregated in cells of five respondents or more, so that individual faculty and individual departments cannot be identified. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">We welcome this opportunity to learn from an independent, research-driven, comparative study. We believe that Queens College has the potential to be one of the best places for scholars
to work, and with your help we can learn how best to support that goal. However, data from the COACHE study will be meaningful only if we have broad participation.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
