Departmental Survey Salaries, Enrollments, Etc. We know how much you value having access to current data on the profession--including key issues such as the labor market, teaching loads, enrollments, and departmental policies--and the ability to compare your institution with peer groups. APSA is collecting this data from departments. You can help us better understand trends in the discipline by encouraging department chairs to participate in the survey. Departments can access the survey by logging in to DSPonline (see login boxes above). Learn more about the survey and how APSA intends to roll out the information on the Factsheet: APSA Roadmap for Data Collection (.pdf).
