August 6, 2020

 

Following up on the results of the July 29 poll, on August 6, 2020, we texted 488 student contacts to follow up on the responses received to the July 29 poll. We allowed students to text back a short answer rather than prompting them to select from pre-determined options.

What do you believe will most positively impact adherence to public health guidelines?

We received 201 responses (41% response rate), which we analyzed and consolidated into eight categories:

  • Consequences and enforcement for individuals and student organizations: 30.4%
  • Going 100% remote/Nothing: 16.9%
  • Transparency, clear communications and education/training: 13.9%
  • Community culture (including employee role modeling): 13.5%
  • Reduce students burdens/restrictions/liabilities (be as normal as possible): 10.1%
  • Peer pressure, reminders, and accountability: 6.3%
  • Miscellaneous: 5.1%
  • Not responsive: 3.8%
