A brief description of the method(s) used to gather data about employee commuting:
A survey was given in real time at two campus staff meetings in October, 2021. A total of 66 staff members completed the survey via clicker, so they could also see their real time results projected on a screen. A faculty survey was sent out to all faculty via two weekly faculty publications in November, 2021(CELT News and Academic Affairs Weekly), and then again by a targeted "FList" email by the Associate Provost. 81 Faculty members took the survey.
