The College requires all surveys extending beyond course-level data collection to be vetted and collected by the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness (OIRE). The OIRE evaluates the appropriateness of survey design and purpose, conformance/compliance with best practices, and burden on potential respondents for all surveys collected from the Students and Employees beyond the course level. Surveys must be designed with accessibility in mind and comply with privacy regulations such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), where applicable.
This Policy pertains to individuals, both internal and external, wishing to conduct research at the College who must comply with the College’s research guidelines (E-830 – Human Subject Research). It does not include the College’s faculty conducting surveys within their own classrooms for purposes related to the course.
