Our promise, your commitment
We promise to do our part if you do yours. Here’s what you can expect from your panel experience.
We promise to …
Ask for your thoughts (only): The panel is for market research purposes. It’s not a solicitation for money. Although, we may sometimes ask you about fundraising campaigns.
Listen and share: We can’t promise IU will act on everything you recommend, but we can promise we’ll listen to you and share your concerns.
Protect your data: Your personal data (including email and mail address) will never be sold, rented, or given away to an outside entity.
Ensure confidentiality: Your feedback will remain confidential to IU, and comments will be reported in the aggregate only.
Keep it simple: You should expect to receive a survey invitation approximately six to ten times per year. Our surveys are typically short in duration: about 5 to 10 minutes.
Show our gratitude: We don’t pay panelists for their opinions, but we will send you occasional tokens of our thanks and include your name in random prize drawings.
We expect you to …
Be honest and genuine: We’re looking for candid feedback and ideas from all types of IU alumni and friends.
Participate loyally: You don’t have to respond to every survey, although we hope you do. Robust response rates generally lead to greater precision. We reserve the right to remove panelists who do not participate or who knowingly provide inaccurate or inattentive responses.
Practice discretion: You’re part of a group that gets to weigh in on concepts that may not be ready for public consumption. We trust that you will never share logos, taglines, concepts, survey questions, results, or other ideas outside the IU family.
Communicate with us: You have the right to leave the panel at any time for any reason. We just ask that you tell us if you’re no longer interested in participating. You can contact us with questions or updates anytime at iumrktg@iu.edu or 812-855-4717.
