I worked for several years in a cubicle in Hendrickson and it was truly a disaster. Students were very upset at the lack of confidential private space and I found I could not do my writing or grading with all the conversations going on. | Selected: ARRAY(0x1572e9c)
Quiet and private space is necessary for any faculty member who advises students. In education, we do a lot of distance courses and we need quiet private areas to do this. If they are not available, we will have to conduct our business off campus. |

I do not have a nice view. |
It's SMALL comparatively. |
There isn't anything I do not like about it |
Students can see into my office. I normally work with my door open, but there are times when it would be helpful to be here working without being visible. |
Thin walls; it is easy to hear conversations going on next door. |
Very crowded in shared areas. |
It's usually cold - but that isn't much of a problem as it's easy to deal with. |
It can only accommodate the desk in one direction. The space is tight. |

I bought a coffee maker a couple of years ago and now all is well |
I have no complaints and think it is a lovely campus. I really enjoy my workspace and like being here. I know this report is going to UAS leadership and Faculty Senate; it should also be made available for everyone to see the results. What's the secret? |
Keep faculty in their private offices. |
We seem to have lots of money for physical plant, bricks, paving, etc. - but we can't get enough resources to conduct proper on-line teaching, sufficient IT resources, a lack of sufficient bandwidth, lack of sufficient support. |
Can't think of anything that would apply to me. I really am quite happy with what I have. Really! |
Some of the faculty offices are not very good because of lighting, locking and proximity to colleagues. |
I am fortunate to have moved up the ranks to a private office with a window. Many faculty have interior offices with no windows or heat controls. Others have cubicles with no privacy. The least satisfying part of my job for the first 3 years was the idea of spending ANY time in my dreary office. I hope that decent faculty offices will be a priority in the future! |
