. . . responses should spur new thinking and,
perhaps, new actions, which eventually
lead to continued reassessment.
For example, one campus had a high
percentage of residents that responded
"other" when asked about why they
chose to live in on-campus apartments.
The students' reliance on this option
was evidence that the typical categories
lacked perspectives and, as a result, the
assessment committee reviewed the
responses. The results were used to
provide recommendations to improve
outreach to potential residents. The
results also elicited staff conversations
about new issues and perspectives.
When considering a response to
unexpected results it's important
to remember that assessment is a
cyclical process. It does not end when
the survey responses are collected.
Rather, those responses should spur
new thinking and, perhaps, new
actions, which eventually lead to
continued reassessment. This is true
regardless of whether the results fit
nicely into a presupposed hypothesis
or elicit a panicked expletive. Simply
understanding that the Oh $#^%
Moment is not a unique experience can
help calm emotions and, regardless of
the action taken, housing professionals
should think of unexpected results as
an opportunity.
