Faculty Satisfaction Survey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Analysis by Academic Unit Deland and Celebration Campus Full-Time Faculty Fall 2014 Below is an analysis of the results by academic unit for the 138 full-time faculty members who returned the survey. This is the last of the analyses originally announced. There were just a couple of responses specified as Library, so those were pooled with the Unspecified responses. For any item for which the mean for Unspecified was statistically significantly different (p<.05) from the overall mean for the other three groups, the mean for Unspecified is highlighted in yellow below. For any item for which the means for the other three groups differed significantly (p<.05) from each other, those means are highlighted in blue below.
