The Characteristics of Faculty In Comprehensive Institutions

Ted I. K. Youn

Abstract

This paper compares the characteristics of faculty in comprehensive institutions with those of faculty in other college and university categories as identified by the  Carnegie Foundation. Its 1987 Carnegie Classification groups institutions on the basis of level of degree offered—prebaccalaureate to doctorate—and the comprehensiveness of their mission. Public and private  institutions are included in each category.This paper will summarize demographic features, working conditions, satisfaction and participation in academic work organizations, mobility and careers, and attitudes and  orientations toward the profession and its organization
