Faculty, staff responses to Climate Survey high enough for analysis

Though the reintroduced campus climate survey failed to garner the student response rate required for in-depth analysis, the employee response rate -- 58 percent of staff and 60 percent of faculty -- is high enough to permit the surveying agency, Rankin & Associates, to do cross-cutting demographic analyses of paid employees.
