While there are many advocates for the status quo, there are also loud voices for change. We know what the sources of disagreement are and where the loudest voices can be found, but we know little about the distribution of opinion across the faculty. In order to give the faculty of Saint Louis University a chance to voice its opinion, the Faculty Senate is conducting a survey on the idea of a University-wide core curriculum. By answering the questions on the survey, you can register your opinions on important curricular issues. All full-time faculty are eligible to participate.
All answers are confidential.
Only aggregate results and anonymous comments will be made public. Results will be analyzed for the faculty as a whole as well as for sub-categories such as school or division. Results will be available at the Faculty Senate web-site. The results of this survey are not binding, but they will permit future discussions of core curricula at Saint Louis University to move forward armed with the knowledge of what significant segments of the faculty want. Results may also point to a kind of core curriculum on which there would be substantial agreement.
