Institutional Policies and Practices Regarding Faculty in Higher Education. 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF-93). Statistical Analysis Report.
Kirshstein, Rita J.; And Others
This is the second publication released from the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF), a study about faculty and instructional staff in U.S. higher education institutions. The document presents findings from the institution survey of NSOPF-93 regarding their policies and practices toward faculty and staff, including: full-time, part-time permanent, temporary, instructional faculty and staff, and non-instructional faculty. Data reported include: (1) number and distribution of full- and part-time faculty and staff; (2) movement of full-time faculty and staff from their institutions; (3) distribution of tenure systems and tenured faculty; and (4) benefits provided to different groups of faculty and instructional staff. The survey found that, among other things, U.S. institutions of higher education employed approximately 1 million faculty and instructional staff in the fall of 1992, and 90 percent had instruction as their major regular assignment. There was about a 1 percent increase in the number of permanent full time instructional faculty and staff between fall 1991 and fall 1992, despite the fact that 6 percent of permanent full time instructional faculty and staff left their institutions because of retirement, downsizing, or other reasons. The Survey Questionnaire is appended. (MAH)
