2010 Survey Response Rates
April 12, 2010 by Kevin Creamer
In 2010, the MISO Survey’s response rates for each campus population were quite good. The student response rate, in particular, was far better than in past years.
Students
The MISO Survey is administered to a random stratified sample of 700 students at each institution. In past years our response rate has been in the low 30%’s. This year, 44.9% of our student population completed the Survey. We’re especially proud of this year’s student response rate. We attribute this success was largely to improvements in the Survey’s communication methodology.
Faculty and staff
The MISO Survey is administered to the entire faculty and staff population at each participating institution (with the exception of the library and technology staffs). In 2010, 48.8% of the faculty population and 50.3% of our staff population responded to the Survey.
Response trends
Over the Survey’s 5 year lifespan, faculty and staff response rates have been consistently high. Since 2008, we’ve achieved a marked increase in the response rate for students.
