Survey to help UNL
Students want improvements in parking
By Julie Sobczyk
Senior Reporter;
Most UNL students are satisfied
with the university, but its handling of
campus parking is below par, accord
ing to a recent survey.
James Griesen, vice chancellor for
student affairs, said the Omnibus Sur
vey showed that students thought the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln was
doing a good job in the areas of cam
pus safety and student services.
“I think it is a very valuable set of
findings that guide us tremendously
for understanding students and their
expectations,” Griesen said.
The survey, in its second year, is
being conducted by the Bureau of So
ciological Research. The results from
last year’s survey were released in
February, Griesen said.
Cheryl Wiese, assistant director of
the bureau, said 20 part-time inter
viewers conducted the survey.
The interviews were conducted last
March and completed last April, she
said.
The bureau contacted 530 UNL un
dergraduates by phone for the survey,
Griesen said.
About 25 percent of students con
tacted did not want to participate.
“We had a very high response rate,”
Griesen said. “The response was typi
cal for telephone surveys.”
The students who participated were
asked 145 questions in the categories
of demographics, campus safety, so
cial issues, satisfaction with services,
satisfaction with UNL and behaviors
and beliefs.
Of the students who responded, 88
percent were white. The remaining
respondents were Asian, Hispanic and
black.
Students were chosen for the sur
vey using random sampling, Wiese
said.
“The names were randomly gener
ated from a list of all student names, so
every student had an opportunity to be
included in the sample,” she said.
The computer chose students’
names randomly, instead of in a pat
tern such as every fifth name, Wiese"
said. '
In the survey, 63.7 percent of stu
dents think UNL is doing a good job
on campus safety. Almost as many —
65.2 percent — think there is not an
adequate amount of parking on cam-'
pus.
One statistic that troubled uriesen
was that 32 percent of students said
they saw their adviser more than once
a semester, and 35 percent said they
saw their adviser once a semester.
“All in all, that’s pretty good,”
Griesen said. “But I’d like to see that at
100 percent visiting their advisers. The
fact that one-third of students are vis
iting their advisers more than once a
semester looks good.”
As years go by, he said, the survey
results will become even more valu
able.
“We’ll be able to see how changes
we’ve made are reflected in the sur
vey,” he said.
For example, Griesen said, if UNL
changes parking to try to make the
situation better, but the survey still
reflects student dissatisfaction, the
university will know that more needs
to be done.
Also, he said, the survey will be
come important for the North Central
Accreditation next semester.
“We’re expected to be evaluating,”
Griesen said. “Assessment is a large
part of the NCA visit. We have to be
able to demonstrate we’re surveying
students and finding out their needs.”
