Particular departments may be working on addressing concerns, but there is not a general effort by the university as a whole to address the survey results.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The employee engagement survey was offered to the entire university through the Institute for Organizational Excellence. Not everyone chose to participate, and only about 38% of employees at the university were represented, particularly those in University Operations. This survey was conducted through the Institute for Organizational Excellence in the College of Social Work who would have more information about how this employee engagement survey was conducted. There is not, to this reporter's understanding, a unified mechanism to address the concerns raised from the employee engagement survey on a university level, although some work has been made departmentally to address these concerns in some areas.
