The 2023 EDUCAUSE Faculty Survey was administered from March 23 to May 5, 2023. The survey consisted of 44 items (the survey instrument can be found here: 2023 Faculty Survey). We used a stratified sampling approach, identifying a sample of institutions based on national statistics from the U.S. Department of Education, National Center of Education Statistics, Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), U.S. postsecondary teaching in Fall 2021 (excluding graduate students). Institutions that represented a range of characteristics including Carnegie Classification, sector, and level of institution were invited to participate. Overall, 982 respondents from eight institutions participated. Inclusion criteria were based on a survey item completion rate of 30% or more. Data were weighted by sector of institution and institution size classification to reflect IPEDS benchmarks. The tables below display response rates by institution type and characteristics, in addition to respondent demographics.
