New Institutional Survey Policy for UP

By Prof AM Melck

Posted on 08 March 2011

The University of Pretoria undertakes or participates in numerous surveys involving its students, staff and alumni, as well as community and employer groups.

These surveys help to provide an empirical basis for management initiatives, strategic planning, decision-making and policy reviews. To date these surveys have been conducted on an ad hoc basis within the University and no formal co-ordination of surveys or survey results has existed. The increase in the number of surveys, the importance of the correct dissemination of survey results, and the interrelationship between these surveys has resulted in an increased requirement for coordination and management of surveys by a central market research office and the development of a formal survey policy for the University.

All members of staff and students who plan to conduct surveys from now on must please consult the survey policy and familiarize themselves with the contents thereof.
