Faculty Satisfaction Survey – Analysis by Sex Deland and Celebration Campus Full-Time Faculty Fall 2014 Below is an analysis of the results by sex for the 138 full-time faculty members who returned the survey. Additional analyses will be performed in the next week or so.

The overall pattern of differences in the mean ratings given for the various items by Males vs.

Females vs. Unspecified was not statistically significant (in fact, not even close), so differences on individual items were not evaluated for statistical significance.
