The results of a faculty survey conducted by the office of academic affairs reveals both content and unrest in a variety of campus issues. The faculty were asked 124 questions covering such topics as: tenure policy, the ability to retain faculty members, faculty development, maximum teaching loads, merit salary policy, the current student advisement system, the assessment of both entering and graduating students, availabilty of materials in the bookstore, campus media effectiveness, the public relations effectiveness, the new on-line library catalog, satisfaction with the current library hours, and the quality of arts and cultural activities on campus. The answers to the questions were broken down into five areas: strongly agree, agree, strongly disagree, disagree, and no opinion or indifferent. The Vista has chosen questions that display the greatest percentage of disproportion, avoiding issues that the faculty were divided evenly over. Faculty retention Fifty-four percent of the faculty surveyed thought their department retains talented faculty members who could move elsewhere. Fifty-nine percent of the faculty surveyed believe a "market factor" should be added to the current faculty salary schedule so as to allow the university to be more competitive in terms of attracting and/or retaining full-time teachers in high demand areas. Twenty-nine percent disagreed and 11 percent had no opinion. Teaching course loads Sixty-seven percent of the total faculty favored a teaching load of 24 hours per academic year. Sixty-six percent of the faculty either disagreed or strongly disgreed with the policy of a 27 hour per academic year Proficiency exams Twenty-five percent of the responding faculty agreed that their department assesses the proficiency of entering students. Eighty percent of the faculty backed requiring graduating students should take proficiency tests. Eighty percent of the faculty believed the university should require all new students to take a battery of diagnostic tests to assist the students in appropriate English, mathematics and reading courses. Advisement process Nineteen percent of those surveyed believed the current system of advising students in exploring career options was adequate. Also, 19 percent backed the current system of enrollment/advisement currently employed by the university. Sixty-three percent believed career advisement should be done by the faculty themselves, and 66 percent favored allowing faculty to serve as official academic advisers to students majoring in their department. Campus media Twenty-six percent of the respondents did not believe that campus media (The Vista, KCSC and KCSU-TV) adquately provide students with information about campus activities. Library facilities Only 7 percent of the faculty were unsatisfied with the new on-line library catalog service. Sixty-nine percent of those surveyed believed the current library hours were adequate and 12 percent disagreed. Arts and cultural facilities Thirteen percent of the surveyed faculty agreed that current facilities on campus adequately met the need for arts and cultural activites.
