2022 IT Client Satisfaction Survey

In February 2022, the CIO Council set out to measure current client satisfaction with Stanford IT among both undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff. Throughout the 2022 IT Client Satisfaction Survey, our goal was to gain feedback from as much of the Stanford community as possible and compare results to our benchmark survey conducted 2020.

In the spirit of transparency and continuous improvement, the CIO Council is pleased to provide the aggregated and anonymized survey results from 7,000+ respondents with our Stanford community, and particularly our distributed IT community. Browse the executive summary or full report below.
