The Status of Women and Minorities among Community College Faculty.
Perna, Laura W.
Research in Higher Education, v44 n2 p205-40 Apr 2003
Used data from the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty to examine the status (employment status, salary, rank, tenure) of women and minorities among faculty employed at public 2-year colleges. Found that human capital, structural, and market characteristics appear to explain the observed differences between women and men and some racial/ethnic group differences. Results suggest fundamental differences in reward structures for faculty at public 2- and 4-year institutions. (EV)
