Example: Your responses are completely anonymous. No personal identifying information or IP addresses will be collected. Data will be aggregated via the Qualtrics reporting function. Quantitative results will be shared with the Chairperson and the faculty in the academic unit. Qualitative results will be shared with the Chairperson and the Provost’s Office.
