Just about every university conducts a VOICE staff-survey but few are coloured in as much green (for great results) and gold (for good ones) as CQU.

On a survey response of 77 per cent CQU-ers, generally by thumping majorities, report believing and belonging in the university and being committed to its goals. Even the few weak results are relatively strong – while 49 per cent of respondents said they had input into every day decision-making, this was 5 per cent up on the 2015 survey and six per cent above the uni-system benchmark. There will be a bunch of speeches about what a good job VC Scott Bowman has done when he retires at year end. These results already say a bunch about how he led CQU.
