Chronicle report: UA employees have faith in leadership

FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas earned a spot among the Chronicle of Higher Education’s top 103 “Great Colleges to Work For” in 2012. Results of the fifth annual survey were released over the weekend (Aug. 5).
 
The UA was recognized in the category of “Confidence in Senior Leadership,” which extended beyond top administrators. The survey noted references to the Wally Cordes Teaching and Faculty Support Center: “Instruction in teaching is led by professors, three of whom run a teaching-support center. Each serves as director for one quarter, in order to accommodate their own teaching and research responsibilities.”

About 47,000 employees from nearly 300 higher education institutions responded to the survey, ranking their colleges and universities in a dozen categories. The UA and the University of Mississippi were the only two institutions from the Southeastern Conference rated in the survey.

Also making the list was North Arkansas College in Harrison — with honors.
