A major survey of faculty across the country has been launched by CAUT. The faculty work experience survey focuses on workload and related issues of job satisfac­tion, propensity for job change, and opportunity for research, among other measures.

CAUT president Penni Stewart said the survey will provide the most authoritative national overview of university faculty work.

“Data from the survey will help identify trends and assist CAUT in developing policies for issues facing specific areas,” Stewart said.

Emails have been sent to a sample of 13,000 faculty members inviting them to take part in the online survey, available in both English and French at Infopoll.com.

CAUT urges everyone selected for the sample to complete the survey to help capture as complete and accurate a picture as possible.
