In April, 2010 we conducted our baseline Information Technology Customer Service survey for faculty and staff. For our baseline year our goal was to earn an 85% or higher favorable rating and we achieved that goal in 7 of 12 categories. Below is a summary of our results, and for categories in yellow or red there is an action plan to improve our results. The next survey will be conducted in Spring 2011.
Here are the results:
