Competencies

Academic & International Experiences

TDU faculty are encouraged to complete the Survey below.  Results of the survey will be used to build a university-wide inventory of academic competencies, international expertise, conference attendance, scholar programs, grants awarded, research initiatives, publications, and much more.  Inventory data collected through the survey will be used by the Office of Institutional Research for reference in future research and collaborative efforts made by the university.

The data collected in this survey pertains to your:
  • language expertise
  • travel experiences
  • conference attendance
  • knowledge/expertise (areas of study/interest)
  • collaboration efforts
  • papers/publications

For additional information on faculty and other TDU employees, please refer to the University Fact Book which is listed under University Fact Publications on this Web site. The Fact Book employee section includes current year and historical information by rank, gender, ethnicity, tenure, age, salaries, compensation, and FTE as well as peer comparisons.

Over the past decade, the American higher education community has experienced a greater than ever reliance on national data for institutional peer comparisons, especially within the fiercely competitive world of research universities.  The demand for these comparative data comes from various constituencies, including state-mandated accountability reporting, performance funding initiatives, accreditation reviews, academic program reviews, national benchmarking for internal analysis and evaluation, and the controversial college and university rankings published by national news magazines.

Faculty are central to the university's performance, and the data collected in this survey will aid in the university's internationalization efforts.  Please click the link below to complete the survey.
