<p><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Dear Professor:</span></p>
<span style="font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">My name is David Earwicker, and I am a PhD candidate in Education Policy at UC Davis. I write regarding research I am doing on how the 1960 California Master Plan for Higher Education affects CSU faculty research and scholarship. Specifically, my dissertation work focuses on the Master Plan and its direct relevance to how CSU tenured and tenure-track faculty conceptualize and engage in their research roles and priorities. The faculty perspective is central to our understanding of how and why research priorities and expectations within the CSU have changed over the last 60 years.<br> <br> I invite you to contribute your voice and take part in this potentially transformative research by participating in a short survey (link below) that I believe will help inform further research and policy activity related to the currency of the Master Plan and its impact on CSU faculty, students, and staff.<br> <br> If you agree to participate in this research, you will be asked to complete a Qualtrics-based survey that includes questions about demographics and about your perspectives on research, teaching, and scholarly activity. This is an anonymous survey and neither your name nor that of your campus will be recorded or linked in any way to your responses. It will take about 15-20 minutes to complete the survey.<br> <br> Participation in this survey is voluntary, and invited participants who consider or complete the survey will have the opportunity to add their email address to a list from which five (5) will be selected using a random number generator to receive a $100 Amazon Gift Card. Everyone can be entered in the drawing regardless of participation. If you do not want to participate but want to be included in the drawing, please email me at <a href="mailto:dearwicker@ucdavis.edu" target="_blank">dearwicker@ucdavis.edu</a>.<br> <br> To participate in the survey, please click on the link below. Further information is provided in the survey regarding confidentiality and consent. I look forward to learning your perspectives on research and scholarly activity and priorities.The survey is open now and will close on May 15th. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.<br> <br> Sincerely,<br> <br> David P. Earwicker<br> Ph.D. Candidate, School of Education<br> University of California, Davis<br> <a href="mailto:dearwicker@ucdavis.edu" target="_blank">dearwicker@ucdavis.edu</a></span></span>
