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(0x1514d8c)

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? |
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! |
Group faculty offices by discipline Add faculty lounge for interdisciplinary interactions |
Each tenure track faculty needs to have, at the very least, secure, lockable, private offices. |
