DU SCORE

How do we compare to our peer/cohort

Response options ranged from 1-5 where 5 is the most favorable. The functional range of responses for the 103 schools in the cohort was approximately 2.9-3.65. DU scored a 3.18/5, which was in the bottom third of the cohort. Though pre-tenured faculty reported higher satisfaction with their level of service (and commensurate with the middle group), faculty who identified as women, associate level faculty, and faculty of color identified especially low satisfaction with their level of service relative to the cohort.
