[COPLAC-IR] FW: CIRCLE project comparison group too small

[George Guajardo]

Greetings All, 

I found the email about the Circle project (in my trash folder, of course).
I am completing the form as we speak and hope that this reminder (along with
relevant link) will encourage others among us to sign up.

 

By the way, I am sending Bill Spellman a list of potentially useful design
features for the communications platform we discussed last Saturday. If any
of you have ideas about it, you might want to send them as well.

 

George

Subject: [COPLAC-IR] CIRCLE project comparison group too small

 

Greetings COPLAC IR/IE colleagues,

 

In a communication today with Nancy Thomas, director of the National Study
of Learning, Voting, and Engagement at Tufts University, she informed me of
her concern that only 8 of the 26 COPLAC institutions have signed on to the
project.  They are holding off on running the data, because they can only
run the batches of records once, and many of the comparison groups,
including our COPLAC group are not large enough to be able to use for the
study.

 

If you have not done so, I hope that you might consider joining this
initiative and submitting your authorization form as soon as possible.  It
would be a shame to miss out on this new potential quality indicator of
civic engagement given that this is a current interest of the COPLAC
presidents.

Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to meet many of you in West
Virginia in a couple of weeks.
