COACHE is a collaboration of colleges and universities committed to gathering the peer diagnostic and comparative data academic administrators need to recruit, retain, and develop faculty members, who are critical to the long-term future of their institutions. The core element of COACHE is an electronic survey specially designed for full-time faculty like you to provide information about your experience at your institution. The COACHE Survey asks faculty members to assess their experiences regarding promotion and tenure, the nature of their work, policies and practices, and the general climate, culture and level of collegiality on their campuses. The survey has a national scope in that your institution is one of more than 200 colleges and universities from different parts of the country that have participated in the survey. However, the main reason your institution is participating is that it wants to learn more about how faculty members feel about their job so it can improve the quality of the work/life for them. The COACHE Surveys also provide participating faculty members with a powerful tool to share their thoughts on work/life with academic administrators. Each question in the survey is built to generate a report of not simply "interesting" data, but actionable diagnoses that your institution can use to improve the quality of life of its faculty members.
