Gallup and Inside Higher Ed collaborated to measure employee engagement among college and university faculty members using Gallup’s employee engagement, or Q12, items. Inside Higher Ed supplemented these items with questions measuring satisfaction with certain aspects of jobs that are unique to faculty members. Some of the questions the study addresses include:

How do employee engagement levels compare among tenured versus nontenured faculty, part-time versus full-time faculty members, professors at private nonprofit versus public institutions, and by other demographic groups?

Article VI of the US Constitution states in part “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” Accordingly, President Obama has said that to have a religious test for Syrian refugees coming to the Unites States would be un-American. No one is proposing positions of high office for the refugees who our government defines as people fearing persecution on account of “race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion.” So religion is clearly a component of the refugee test.
