SURVEY ADMINISTRATION
  • The survey process begins with a request from an organization to NILIE describing interest in a particular climate survey. 
  • The NILIE researcher contacts your institutional representative. 
  • Your institutional representative and the NILIE researcher work closely to customize the instrument to fit your needs. 
  • Staff at your institution administer the instrument and return the data to NILIE for analysis with SAS statistical software. 
  • The result is a bound report, produced by NILIE, that is unique to your institutional needs.

NILIE maintains a national database of composite averages of more than 100 colleges. Your institution will be compared to others on the factors measured and to itself over time when your institution repeats a survey.
