Angelo State Earns National “Great College to Work For” Designation
September 16, 2019
Angelo State University has been named one of the nation’s “Great Colleges to Work For” for 2019 by ModernThink, and will be recognized in a special edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education, the major national news source for college and university faculty and administrators.
ModernThink previously partnered with The Chronicle of Higher Education to sponsor the “Great Colleges to Work For” program, but while the partnership for publication still exists, ModernThink is now the sole underwriter of the program.
The ModernThink survey evaluates employee satisfaction in 12 categories in four general areas: leadership, the workplace, careers and compensation. Its two-part assessment process includes an institutional audit of demographics and workplace policies, as well as the survey of faculty, staff and administrators, with employee feedback being the primary factor. ASU is one of only two institutions in the U.S. to be recognized in all 12 categories.
Additionally, Neal said the broader national exposure for ASU that comes with the recognition will enhance the university’s ability to recruit high-quality faculty, staff and administrators. ASU currently has 1,012 employees, including 465 faculty and 547 staff.
The print edition of The Chronicle’s 2019 Academic Workplace special report featuring the complete survey results will be released Sept. 20.
