StrategyOne has a fairly good reputation, but this questionnaire is kind of awkward - the choice of scales (particularly the Likert portion), the bins, and the wording of the single-sentence questions, and so on.
It makes me wonder what the design goals were, and who had final sign-off ... it seems geared toward some narrow outcomes.

ETA: I see their response rates were shitty - I struggle with getting people to respond, too. Getting people to take surveys is hard, especially when your sample population may be discouraged for some reason.

A 12% response rate isn't really out of the ordinary for phone/email hybrid research - it's low-yield. They did not appear to take any measures to account for 'motivated pollers' in this research, and the 58% male split could well indicate a group with incentive to respond at a higher rate (it could also simply reflect the historically higher number of male students, as well - hard to know without the pool demo). Even if that's 'clean', the proximity to PSU's issues kind of dicks up your ability to claim randomness in the response population (particularly via email) - even in a hypothetical sense, we can imagine who would be most likely to respond: those who are more invested, or those who are most angry, skewing to the sides.
