Someone needs to proof read that survey. I know it seems knit picky, but it is not. Due to all the internet security training I had to do each year, I am uncomfortable filling out a survey when it is that poorly edited. I am trained to think poor grammar is a sign of phishing.

Subject: Disconnect in the Museum Workplace
[Posted on behalf of Alexis Stephens.] I am a graduate student in the Heritage and Museum Sciences Program at Texas Tech University. Recent anecdotal writings by museum professionals speak of a disconnect between museum administrators and their staff. I am conducting a thesis research study on this to investigate and document this perceived disconnect.
I am seeking museum professionals of all ranks to participate in this anonymous study and explore this disconnect. The answers you provide in this project will help lead to both validating and confirming this disconnect, identifying its cause, and to solutions that could be beneficial to the profession. I would very much appreciate participants from throughout the United States working in a wide variety of museums from just a few to many dozens of staff.
If you are willing to participate, please click this link to access the survey in Google Surveys. I estimate it will take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. The survey is optional and will be complete anonymous.The survey link will be open until October 15th.
