The following is a statement from the Association of American Universities on the campuses selected to host five demonstration projects on STEM teaching evaluation

AAU has selected five STEM departments at AAU member universities to host demonstration projects in the evaluation of undergraduate teaching. The demonstration projects aim to create better models to evaluate effective and equitable teaching that could then be adapted to STEM departments at other AAU institutions and elsewhere.

The Association of American Universities (AAU) has received a $570,000 gift from the Sarah Gilbert & Carl Wieman Charitable Fund to find better methods for teaching evaluation in university undergraduate STEM departments.
