I worry that the US capacity to maintain databases is going to seriously impact our ability to assess efficacy of a variety of programs and services. I hope large useful datasets are archived somewhere, somehow.

The instruction page collected the network id and wrote it to a separate table and refused access if you already completed the survey. It also insured you were added to the correct workgroup (2/2).

We used Checkbox, before that I had to wrestle with Access and asp pages. I had them log into the Institution’s web portal, grabbed their network number ( pidm) and sent to the survey page. 1/2

Survey Monkey is good and will provide a simple report. For free. But if you’re going to make it available to all federal employees, they might have a response limit. I used to do this for a living - retired now - holler at me if I can help.

I’ve tried to find this information out, but it’s not possible to find - not collected. Someone needs to start collecting this

They’re trying to encourage people to have more kids… so, just leave birthright alone. Write a new law forbidding non-citizens from taking citizens under 12 years old out of the country.

Old protester and lawyer here: Ask, “am I free to go?” If not, say, “I want a lawyer” and then STFU. Once you say you want a lawyer they must stop questioning you. If they try, repeat “Lawyer.” Then STFU again. Nobody has ever been convicted for shit they *didn’t* say.

That may or may not be disconcerting, since I can be found on “the dark side” of campus. It’s the middle where faculty think you’re calling the shots, but really it’s the BOT or BOG or Legislature or Accreditors calling the shots and you’re just trying to operationalize those shots.
