WHAT IS COACHE?
The Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE) is a national, research-based initiative that is designed to help us better understand and initiate plans for improving the quality of work-life for faculty.
COACHE conducts an annual survey from universities across the U.S. The survey items fall into ten domains and some items address global satisfaction. Universities also have the option to include custom items. The ten domains are:
- Nature of Work (Scholarship, Service, Teaching)
- Tenure and Promotion
- Interdisciplinary Work
- Collaboration and Mentoring
- Resources and Support
- Shared Governance
- Department Engagement, Quality, and Collegiality
- Institutional Leadership
- Appreciation and Recognition
- Retention and Negotiations
