Friends and colleagues in academia:
Please participate in my study and share it anywhere there are academics! I am currently running a survey on how academics, including graduate students, any kind of faculty (e.g., tenured, non-tenured), administration, and others (e.g., postdocs), think and feel about the recent executive orders addressing diversity equity and inclusion (DEI) and related topics, including health equity research as well as potential changes to grant funding.
I’ll only survey you once and the survey should take 5-10 minutes. You can find the survey link here: https://iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_egLjgV21dr16ZCe
Let me say a little bit more about the study. The survey concerns your thoughts and feelings about executive orders relating to academia. It is meant for people who work in academia, very broadly defined. Questions are structured so only information essential to the research is asked, to avoid so-called deductive disclosure.
Every question is optional. The survey is asking for your email, which is optional, not a requirement to participate. The reason emails are being collected is in case there is any issue with the quality of respondents like “bots” or other people maliciously taking the survey. I plan to do a sensitivity analysis exploring whether there are differences in outcomes when people provide e-mail vs. not. Additionally, I’d explore effects of responses from emails that appear invalid (e.g., [email protected]) or are otherwise suspicious. I’d use the highest quality subset of the data that the results of that sensitivity analysis support.
Please share with other academics. We are interested in everyone’s opinions: https://iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_egLjgV21dr16ZCe
