Full-Time Women Faculty Off the Tenure Track: Profile and Practice.
Harper, Elizabeth P.; Baldwin, Roger G.; Gansneder, Bruce G.; Chronister, Jay L.
Review of Higher Education, v24 n3 p237-57 Spr 2001
Data from the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty, institutional surveys, and interviews revealed that women are overrepresented as full-time, non-tenure-track faculty, are clustered in the lowest faculty ranks and in traditionally female disciplines, carry heavier teaching loads than male colleagues, are paid less, and have fewer opportunities for advancement. Those with doctorates are least satisfied of all faculty. (EV)
