MIT faculty and other instructional staff were invited to respond to a survey about faculty work life. The survey was administered from January 2008 to March 2008. The survey examined a number of issues concerning quality of life at MIT, including workload and work-related stressors, departmental climate, mentoring, the tenure and promotion process, and the balance between work and personal/family life.
