Evaluating the Quality of American Universities: A New Approach
Adams, Arvil V.; Krislov, Joseph
Research in Higher Education, 8, 2, 97-109, 78
Using the quartile deviation of faculty salary data as a measure of institutional quality, the authors ranked the 138 major universities designated by AAUP as Class I institutions. Since the results were similar to other ranking systems and salary data are readily available, it is argued that studies of salaries hold promise as measures of institutional quality. (Author/LBH)
