Complete the COACHE Survey
Do you want stronger shared governance at MU? Completing the COACHE survey is one way to express your thoughts. Reps from the COACHE committee visited Faculty Council (FC) on October 24th, previewing the new COACHE survey to be distributed in February. Data collection and cleaning is completed externally to MU to ensure anonymity. As a reminder, FC agendas, meeting notes, and supporting documents are available online.
