Chronicle of Higher Education honors UIW as great employer
The University of the Incarnate Word has been named a ‘Great College to Work For’ by a leading newspaper on higher education.
The results were released in the third annual report on The Academic Workplace in The Chronicle of Higher Education. The report is based on a survey of more than 42,000 employees of 277 colleges and universities. The publication worked with ModernThink LLC, a human resources consulting firm, to produce the survey.
The University of the Incarnate Word was only one of 97 institutions to earn the 2010 Great College to Work For designation. UIW is also the only San Antonio school on the list.
UIW also made the 2010 Honor Roll, a list of only 39 schools, for being recognized in the most categories.
UIW was recognized in collaborative governance; professional/career-development programs; teaching environment; job satisfaction and support; confidence in senior leadership; supervisor or department chair relationship; respect and appreciation; and tenure clarity and process.
The Chronicle of Higher Education provides news and information about colleges and universities.
“With the Great Colleges program, The Chronicle can provide even more of the vital information our readers rely on – unbiased reporting on which colleges are being innovative in their workplace practices,” says Jeffrey J. Selingo, The Chronicle’s editor.
UIW is a private liberal arts university that serves more than 7,000 students. UIW is the largest Catholic university in the state and the fourth largest private university in Texas.
