Image: Jake Belcher The survey, deployed every four years, is a unique, confidential forum for community input. MIT has launched the latest iteration of its Quality of Life Survey , a major project to solicit feedback from students, staff, and faculty about a full range of campus issues, from social concerns to academic and workplace matters. Overseen by the MIT Council on Family and Work and by MIT Institutional Research, the 2020 edition is the first to simultaneously generate feedback from students, faculty, and staff; previously, separate surveys had been developed for different campus groups. MIT News talked with three leaders who are helping to run the 2020 Quality of Life Survey: Amy Glasmeier, a professor in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning and co-chair of the MIT Council on Family and Work; Ken Goldsmith, assistant dean for finance and planning in the School of Architecture and Planning and co-chair of the MIT Council on Family and Work; and Lydia Snover, director of MIT Institutional Research. Q: What is the Quality of Life Survey? Goldsmith: It's a barometer of the satisfaction people have at MIT within the context of their lives. It's a way of seeing what is impacting people's lives.
