This publication is one of two reports of the data acquired in the survey of Employees in Institutions of Higher Education that was included in the second Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) conducted in the 1967-68 academic year. Though the survey was concerned with all employees in higher education, particular emphasis was placed on the instruction and research staff. Data are reported on the primary functions of all professional and nonprofessional employees by institution. In addition, separate tabulations are presented on major academic areas and on highest academic degrees for senior staff for resident instruction and departmental research and of senior staff for organized research.
