You are invited to participate in an attitude survey for USF Tampa employees about separate unit accreditation for USF's regional campuses. The survey data will be analyzed as part of my dissertation in the higher education program at USF. An executive summary will be provided to each campus administrator along with a report for each campus. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the questionnaire.
