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.

Most of the schools participating in this survey cycle have participated previously.  New to the MISO Survey are DePauw University, Massachusetts College of Art & Design, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.  Preparations for the survey will begin shortly at each institution, with the survey becoming available to students, faculty, and staff early in the Spring term.
