Faculty Inbreeding.
Eells, Walter Crosby; Cleveland, Austin Carl
Journal of Higher Education, v70 n5 p579-88 Sep-Oct 1999
A study of 16,837 faculty members at 219 colleges and universities in 42 states found great variation in the extent to which faculties were hiring their own institution's graduates as teachers. Six institutions showed no such "inbreeding," whereas seven had over 60% inbreeding. (Originally published in 1935) (MSE)
