Educational Orientations of Faculty in Liberal Arts Colleges: An Analysis of Disciplinary Differences

Stark, Joan S.; Morstain, Barry R.

Journal of Higher Education, 49, 5, 420-37, Sep/Oct 78

The pattern of differences identified seems more complex than attitudinal dichotomies previously advanced by researchers studying faculty views across diverse types of institutions. (Author/LBH)
