- This survey is administered and analyzed by Yale’s Office of Institutional Research (OIR) and conforms with high standards for the treatment of confidential data. OIR staff are the only Yale employees who have access to the survey data and all analysts have completed training in Human Subject Protection.
- Yale College Student Surveys are confidential but are not anonymous. Anonymous surveys make it impossible to prevent multiple responses per person or to send reminders only to non-respondents. Additionally, to increase the usefulness of the survey we may combine responses with other information we have about you.
- Individual survey responses will not be provided to any Yale faculty or administrators outside the research office. Some narrative comments are provided to high-level administrators for the purpose of program or service improvement.
- Additionally, results will be aggregated for all reporting such that the identity of specific individuals cannot be inferred, even by knowledgeable readers. All analysis for this project is subject to minimum cell sizes and statistical tests to meet the requirements of good research and confidentiality.
Please contact Rebecca Friedkin at 432-7085 with any questions about Yale College student surveys or these policies.
