Instructional Faculty and Staff in Higher Education Institutions: Fall 1987 and Fall 1992

This report compares findings from the faculty surveys conducted as part of the 1987-88 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF-88) and the 1992-93 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF-93). Both surveys gathered extensive information from samples of faculty in institutions of higher education in the U.S. While the NSOPF-88 faculty survey was limited to faculty and staff who had instructional responsibilities, the NSOPF-93 faculty survey included these individuals as well as faculty who had no instructional responsibilities during the fall. Thus, the comparisons presented in this report include only a subset of faculty from the 1993 study.
