Profiles of Faculty in Higher Education Institutions, 1988. 1988 National Survey of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF-88)

摘要

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement of the U.S. Department of Education established a faculty study in 1987. The first cycle of the study, completed in 1988, collected data on faculty and faculty issues from three sources: institutional academic officers, department chairpersons, and faculty members. The study is to be repeated again in the 1992-3 school year. The report is one in a series of publications on faculty to be released by NCES. The information presented in the report primarily comes from faculty themselves and focuses on five topics: retirement and separation, activities and workload, compensation, women and minorities, and part-time faculty.
