CSU San Bernardino Campus Climate Report Released: issues with morale are prominent; integrity of leadership doubted.

From the Executive Summary:

"Results from 756 respondents indicate that there are significant problems with morale on the CSUSB campus. Two-thirds of respondents indicated that morale had changed since their hire. Nearly 90% indicated that morale had gotten worse. 

"Significant proportions of employees (said) they would leave if they didn’t already have so much invested in the university. 

"Employees have lost confidence in the campus leadership, reporting with their numeric ratings that top leadership has not communicated a clear direction, that input is neither sought nor considered by leadership in the decision making process, and held perceptions that senior management does not act with integrity. 

"Analysis of the numerous comments bolsters the sentiment that the downturn in morale on campus has largely been attributed to top leadership. The themes that emerged from the commentary sections of the survey indicated that senior management plays favorites, does not value or respect employees,is seen as ineffective, engages in abusive or uncivil behavior, and lacks authenticity."
