Want to know how my semester went? I got Covid and I did not cancel a single class. Not because I'm amazing but because this seems to be the level of work expected by our institutions. So I don't have time for more surveys. #AcademicTwitter

That’s a shame, because your voice matters, and this is an important route to affect change.

I don't think surveys like this are the way to go. It's a considerable amount of work being asked for something that will be aggregated into a presentation. It's also not clear that we have much power to effect institutional change, since we were so overworked during a pandemic.

The good thing about surveys is no one is ever forced to participate. Admin are not in person either, and we miss so much. this is an efficient & fair way to make sure we gather info from all faculty, rather than only those we see. My und is results inform new fac orientation.

I don't doubt that it's efficient, but I don't think it's fair because it is extracting labor from folks who have differing and unequal working conditions.

Fair point, but bear in mind we are trying to make sure we hear many voices and don’t make decisions based on anecdote. Other options (interviews, focus groups) r more labor intensive. U r arguing we shouldn’t collect this info, but then we are willfully ignorant of fac labor

I'm no saying you shouldn't collect this info. I'm saying I don't have time right now. I also don't think I'm alone in this. I also think the use value has to be more than new fac orientation, given the hiring freeze and the lengthy and confessional nature of this survey. 1/

And I should mention. I’m not responsible for this survey, nor is anyone in my office. I consulted with the office that’s working on it. Have you reached out to them to ask about use? That context might help here.

I honestly do pedagogical reflections at the end of every semester for myself. I will continue my own practice. I really don't have the energy for this extra work.

I’m glad you do, and I’m sorry we will miss out on this info

I think, given the moment that we are in, the case has to be made about why this info is important and what will be done with it. That doesn't happen in the email, so it seems to make an extra demand on already struggling people. That is my only point. I'm not against surveys.
