EXF 2023 Professional Development Needs Assessment Report

Top 1994 University Respondents Responses identifying tribal Land-grants were received from only 37.5% of the 1994 Land-grant Institutions included on the original list in the survey. However, three additional tribal institutions were identified by respondents in the “other” category. These include First Americans Land-grant Consortium, Oglala Lakota College, and Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College. Two tribal colleges contributed at least 10% of the 29 responses identifying specific tribal institutions. These include Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute with six responses and Little Priest Tribal College with five responses. Respondent Roles Survey respondents were asked to select the role that best defined their work at their institution. Table 3 reflects the percentage of individuals selecting each role by institution. The role of volunteer/stakeholder was added based on responses to “other roles”. The remaining “other roles” were not identified. The greatest percentage of respondents for 1862 Land-grants selected the community-based faculty/staff role (43.89%), while 21.25% of 1890 respondents and no 1994 respondents selected this role. The highest percentage of respondents in 1890 and 1994 institutions were in administrative roles (1890- 28.75%; 1994 – 48.28%). This compared to 14% respondents in administrative roles in 1862 Land-grants. A higher percentage of 1890 respondents (22.50%) were campus-based faculty, staff, or Land-grant coordinators as compared to 18.84% for 1862 and 13.79% for 1994 institutions. Of additional interest is that 31.03% of the 1994 respondents were directors or staff at the area, district, or regional level, as compared to 9.26% of the 1862 and 8.75% of the 1994 respondents. Additionally, while all roles at the single institution level were represented for the 1862 and 1890 Land-grants, only four roles were represented for the 1994 institutions.
