Worst Aspects

Faculty were asked to identify the two (and only two) worst aspects of working at your institution. The top four responses for your institution are shown in red and disaggregated by tenure status, rank, gender, and race. The columns labeled Peer show the total number of times an item appeared as a top four item amongst any of your five peer institutions. The All column reflects the number of times an item appeared in the top four at any of the institutions in your comparable cohort. When a worst aspect at your institution is also shown as a worst aspect for your peers and/or the cohort, the issue may be seen as common in the faculty labor market. More attention should be paid to the worst aspects that are unique to your institution. These distinctions cast the institution in a negative light.
