This study examines factors contributing to faculty stress. Factors including demographics, tenure, discipline, and teaching medium are all examined. Whereas once faculty members were inundated with learning new electronic technology (and the stress it created), many appear to have become somewhat comfortable with this change and have adapted to expectations of online teaching/learning. The latest trends in stress factors affecting higher education are more likely related to changes in the economic and political environment, workload expectations, preparation time and issues of interpersonal communication.
