Committee Service Recognition in Appointment, Promotion, and Tenure

University faculty responsibilities include teaching, research, and service. The authors' study aspired to ask faculty their opinions of their experiences while serving on standing committees to better understand the thoughts behind the culture and make suggestions for improvement to the university. An IRB permit 22-0566 was obtained from our institution through the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects. A nine-question survey consisting of Likert-style and open-ended questions was delivered through the online survey method, Qualtrics, to 234 persons. Participants consisted of faculty educators. Faculty offered suggestions for the overall improvement on placing higher value on committee service.
