Research, Reputation, and Resources: The Effect of Research Activity on Perceptions of Undergraduate Education and Institutional Resource Acquisition.
Grunig, Stephen D.
Journal of Higher Education, v68 n1 p17-52 Jan-Feb 1997
Factor analysis of 127 private and public universities found that graduate and undergraduate academic reputations are largely explained by the same two factors, size and selectivity. Institutional research activity was the most essential component of the size factor. Findings suggest that reputation strongly influences college attendance choices, tuition setting, and other decisions directly affecting institutional resource acquisition. (Author/MSE)
