eQuad Survey Results
We conducted eight informal
surveys this academic year, with topics ranging from
holiday greetings to Intelligent Design. Not
surprisingly, the Red Sox/Yankees question received the
greatest number of responses, while a question about
government wiretapping yielded the most lopsided
results. Among the most interesting results were that
the campus community is closely divided about the
publication of potentially offensive editorial cartoons
and that slightly more than half of respondents live in
the city of Hartford or would consider moving here.
