Student Feedback Reports: Directed to CAFÉ because of Student Survey Result?
Your Union representatives have very serious concerns about the accuracy and validity of the new online surveys. This was brought to the attention of management at the recent UCC meeting held December 15.
As a result, we strongly encourage any faculty who have concerns about poor student reviews to approach the Union to discuss these concerns. The first results of the new on-line Student Feedback Reports have now been sent to faculty. The e-mail sent along with it states in part: “If you have any questions or would like to further discuss the results, please contact your supervisor (Dean or Associate Dean).”
We highly suggest that if your manager reviews your performance using the new on-line student surveys and then asks you to attend CAFÉ for training, you should immediately speak to your Union steward.
You should not feel compelled to discuss the results with your manager.
