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
