Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

The University collected voluntary responses to a modal survey in 2008 and 2009, and used the 2008 experience to refine the 2009 survey. 3435 surveys were collected in 2009, which represents 3.2% of the total campus population in Fall 2009, including part time staff and students. Since the survey identified each participant by classification (class year or employee), we were able to separate data for students vs. employees. This split data was used for reporting in STARS.
