Responses of 40 public community colleges in Texas to a questionnaire designed to investigate the status of full-time faculty in these institutions are presented. The areas isolated for study included teaching load, office hours, rewards for extra class activities, class size, evening teaching obligations of day college faculty, contact hours for occupational faculty, ages, degree status, professional experience prior to entering community college teaching, professional growth activities and incentives, inservice programs, tenure and fringe benefits, and salaries. The questionnaire was mailed in November 1971 and again during December 1973. The results obtained from an analysis of the responses are provided in tables and discussed. (DB)
