    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.

    Each tenure track faculty needs to have, at the very least, secure, lockable, private offices.
