Dear ABD's:
 
You will be receiving a survey regarding our doctoral program about now.
Please do fill it out and return it. Our national ranking will depend on
your participation and on what you say.
 
Many thanks,

Subject: Fwd: NRC Assessment of Research Doctorate Programs Status Reports


Dear Colleagues,

The faculty surveys for the NRC Assessment of Doctoral Programs are 
now officially closed. The student surveys are all that remain to be 
completed in the data collection phase. (Some faculty will be asked 
to rate other graduate programs).

I am forwarding the April 2nd status report of faculty participation 
in the NRC assessment of doctoral programs.  Our final faculty 
participation was 82.6%, as compared to 73.0% nationally.  Faculty 
participation went from 79.8% (March 26th) to 82.6% (April 2nd) - a 
total of 15 additional faculty completed their questionnaire during 
the final week.

Student surveys are scheduled to go out on April 9th.  Students who 
have advanced to candidacy in Economics, English, Physics and 
Chemical Engineering will receive surveys.

Faculty selected to be raters of other graduate programs will be 
notified on April 9th or soon thereafter.  NRC plans to use 
approximately 10,000 faculty as raters.

Again, thanks for your help in achieving a high level of 
participation by our faculty.

Dallas
