About the survey

Results of the 2023 university-wide faculty climate survey show gratifying improvement since the 2021 survey.  The university-wide results show higher satisfaction in nearly every area covered by the survey. Notably, the sense of belonging in the university and in Yale’s schools and departments has risen overall. Likewise, the collective sense of being part of a respectful and collegial community has increased. Opportunities for continued work are also indicated, such as in mentoring and community building. Yale conducts this survey every two years.
