What is The Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE)?

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. COACHE has conducted the Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey for over 10 years. Then in 2015-16, we partnered with the University of California to develop and pilot the Faculty Exit and Retention Survey. In 2016-17, more research universities were invited to join this project so that they may better understand the process by which faculty who receive external offers decide to leave or stay.
