YOUCOUNT AND SON EVAL OF ADMINISTRATORS ON THE WAY

The following is the text of a Public Information Act request recently sent to UTMB:

From: GEORGE REAMY [mailto:georgereamy@yahoo.com]
Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 9:33 AM
To: Kelso, James D.
Cc: Wilson, Becky M.
Subject: Texas Public Information Act Request

Dear Mr. Kelso:

In accordance with the Texas Public Information Act, please provide the following public records:

1. The 2008 YouCount survey results for each department in the School of Medicine and the School of Nursing.  Also, please provide any overall reports for these two schools and the School of Allied Health Sciences.  It is my understanding that these reports already exist electronically, which is how they were provided to me last year.  I request, therefore, electronic rather than paper records. Please contact me if you are unable to provide these records in either .pdf or Microsoft Word format so we can work out compatibility issues.

2. Any 2008 evaluation of School of Nursing administrators performed by faculty. If this evaluation exists electronically, I request an electronic copy of these records, as well.  Please contact me if you are unable to provide these records in either .pdf or Microsoft Word format so we can work out compatibility issues.

Questions concerning this request may be directed to me via e-mail or via telephone at (254) [number redacted].  Hard-copy correspondence may be addressed to me at [address redacted] Lorena, TX 76655. 

Thanks for your assistance.

Sincerely,

--George W. Reamy

This will be interesting.

Somewhat "anti" after the meeting today with Dr Anderson..
We need to get the word out to ALL UTMB employees- DON'T ANSWER THE SURVEY! It is not anon, and can be used against you!
Didn't it say that it was anonymous?

I always had the feeling 'you count' was a misnomer. Finding out that the You Count survey was not anonymous was a shocker. I will never fill out another survey for UTMB again. They obviously don't want our feedback, except to use it against us.

[Too frightened to say]

I too have always felt that someone could be identified if there was a question about a particular response. This just serves to reinforce that. How very sad that honest, forthright feedback cannot be given without fear of recrimination or reprisal.

You DON"T count at UTMB.

[Too frightened]

Oh..... you count alright - as long as you don't disagree with administration or make any waves. Someone who thinks for themself and seeks the truth is ostracated and black-balled.
