A Multivariate Approach to the Assessment of Quality.
Tan, David L.
Research in Higher Education, v33 n2 p205-26 Apr 1992
A study used a multivariate approach to assessing college departmental excellence. Factor analysis identified three potentially useful factor clusters ("faculty research,""input," and "student") and seven indicators based on those clusters. Indicators combining faculty research and input and combining all three clusters were found to be the best predictors of excellence. (Author/MSE)
