This report summarizes the highlights of a national survey of college and universityfaculty conducted by the Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) at the HigherEducation Research Institute (HERI) during the 2016–2017 academic year. AlthoughHERI has been surveying higher education faculty since 1978, this report is thetenth in a series of faculty surveys adminis-Over the past three decades,tered on a triennial basis since 1989. Overthe HERI Faculty Survey hasthe past three decades, the HERI Facultycollected data from overSurvey has collected data from over half ahalf a million faculty atmillion faculty at more than 1,100 collegesmore than 1,100 collegesand universities.and u niversities.While HERI encourages institutionsto collect data on their entire faculty,historically these reports have focused on full-time undergraduate (FTUG) teaching faculty.Institutions receive reports for faculty respondents with teaching, research, and administrative obligations. Consistent with previous administrations, we included a set of questionsspecifically addressing the experiences of faculty employed in part-time positions as well asthose who work with graduate students.1

This year’s survey included four optionalmodules for campuses to append to the coresurvey. Similar to the 2013–2014 administration, institutions could choose to add modulesfocusing on campus climate, spirituality, orSTEM. Several changes to the core and modulesfor 2016–2017 included moving the sexualorientation and gender identity questions froma separate module to the core instrument.Further, items from the advising module wereadded to the core and a new module focusedon faculty mentoring undergraduates, graduatestudents, and other faculty was added. We highlight findings from the mentoring module inthis monograph.The bulk of theresults reported hereare based on responsesfrom 20,771 full-timeA section on mentoringundergraduate teachingexamines the complexfaculty members atmentoring relationships143 four-year collegesand universities.faculty members have withData for full-timeundergraduates, graduatefaculty are weightedstudents, and other faculty.to provide a normative national profileof full-time faculty atfour-year colleges anduniversities; Appendix A contains details aboutmethodological considerations, including howthese weights were calculated. Complete resultsof the survey presented for full-time faculty arereported separately for male and female facultyin each of eight different normative groups: allinstitutions, public universities, private universities, public four-year colleges, and privatefour-year colleges (combined and broken outby three sub-groupings: nonsectarian, RomanCatholic, and other religious). Survey data byacademic rank are also reported in additional2tables available in the online expanded version ofthis publication.1The Survey QuestionnaireThe 2016–2017 questionnaire was basedlargely on items used in the nine previous facultysurveys, which were revised following the suggestions of HERI-affiliated researchers activelystudying faculty concerns and topics related toteaching and learning. In addition to collectingdemographic information, the web-basedquestionnaire focuses on topics such as howfaculty spend their time, how they interact withstudents, their preferred methods of teaching,their perceptions of institutional climate, theirprimary sources of stress and satisfaction, andtheir personal and professional goals. The questionnaire also includes a section that allowsindividual institutions to ask their faculty upto 30 locally designed closed-ended questionsand five open-ended questions, though thesecampus-specific questions are not reported here.An Overview of the 2016–2017Faculty Survey NormsThe 2016–2017 report first highlights findings related to faculty’s views on discriminationas a source of stress. We then explore facultyperspectives on the fair treatment of femalefaculty and faculty of color and note the differences in faculty feeling that they have to workharder than their colleagues to be perceived asa legitimate scholar. We also analyze respondents’ satisfaction with the equity of salary andjob benefits before addressing faculty readinessto deal with diversity-related conflict in the classroom. A section on mentoring examineshttps://heri.ucla.edu/publications-fac1

the complex mentoring relationships facultymembers have with undergraduates, graduatestudents, and other faculty. We then highlightfaculty views on the role they play in undergraduate student development and anotherfocusing on encouraging students to think andact critically.The final sections address media criticism offaculty as a liberalizing agent of college studentswith an analysis of faculty political views overtime. Another pressing topic is the teachingof remedial/developmental courses and theoverrepresentation of lecturers and instructorsoverseeing these courses. The report concludeswith a section on faculty taking advantageof teaching-related professional development opportunities.source of stress (36.2% compared to 18.0%).The largest gaps between men and women occurat public and private universities. Only 15.7%of men at private universities consider discrimination at least somewhat of a source of stress,compared to 38.7% of women, a difference of23 percentage points. A slightly larger gap existsat public universities, with 18.8% of men and43.3% of women considering discrimination asource of stress.Similar to the gap between men and women,White faculty (21.5%) are less likely than allother race/ethnicity groups to consider discrimination a source of stress. Of faculty of color,Asian/Pacific Islander faculty are least likely(30.9%) to consider discrimination at leastsomewhat a source of stress while Black/AfricanAmerican (49.9%) and Latino/a (51.4%) facultyare most likely to feel this way.When considering the intersecting identitiesof sex and race/ethnicity, larger gaps emerge.Figure 1 shows that White male faculty are leastlikely to consider discrimination a source ofDiscrimination a source of stressfor female faculty of color andfemale STEM facultyOverall, women are more likely than men tofeel that discrimination is at least somewhat aFigure 1.

stress (13.9%), roughly 17 percentage pointslower than White female faculty. Though sexdifferences within race/ethnicity groups persist,men of all other race/ethnicity groups other thanAsian/Pacific Islander report a higher percentageof discrimination as a source of stress than Whitewomen. For example, more than one-third ofmale Native American (33.8%), other (35.5%),multiracial (35.2%), Black (40.5%), and Latino(44.1%) faculty report discrimination as at leastsomewhat a source of stress. Greater differencesemerge for women faculty. The percentagesfor women faculty of color range from 44.8%(Asian/Pacific Islander) to 60.2% (other race),multiracial (59.0%), Black, and Latina (60.1%each) faculty. In other words, more than half offemale faculty of color consider discrimination asomewhat or extensive source of stress.Of all institution types, women in STEMfields were most likely to consider discrimination at least somewhat of a source of stress atpublic universities. It is important to note,however, that women at public universities innon-STEM fields felt similar levels of stress fromdiscrimination (43.0% and 43.3%, respectively).By contrast, 13.1% of men in STEM fields and22.7% of men in non-STEM fields at publicuniversities consider discrimination at leastsomewhat a source of stress.Male and White faculty more likelyto agree that women and facultyof color are treated fairlyFaculty are asked about their perceptions ofinstitutional priorities, including the institutional commitment toward fostering a positivecampus climate for diversity. Almost two-thirds(64.7%) of faculty believed that their institutionplaced a high priority on developing a sense ofcommunity among students and faculty. Faculty4at private institutions (71.7%) were more likelyto believe that their institution placed a priorityon community engagement between studentsand faculty than faculty at public institutions (60.1%).Faculty also had mixed perceptions regardingthe recruitment and treatment of women andfaculty of color at their institutions. Overall,roughly half (50.5%) of faculty believed thattheir institution placed a high priority onpromoting gender diversity in the faculty andadministration. Additionally, slightly morethan half of faculty (55.7%) believed that theirinstitution placed a high priority on promotingracial and ethnic diversity in the faculty andadministration. There were variations in facultyperceptions based on race/ethnicity. Figure 2shows that faculty who identified as Asian/Pacific Islander (61.4%) and White (56.7%)were the most likely to believe the institutionplaced a high priority on promoting racial andethnic diversity in the faculty and administrationas compared to Native American (34.6%), Black(43.1%), and Latino/a faculty (47.7%).Faculty are also asked about their perceptionsof the treatment of women and faculty of color.Men and women held different perceptionsrelated to the treatment of female faculty at theirinstitution. Overall, just over three-quarters(77.4%) of faculty agreed that women facultywere treated fairly at their institution. Men(83.5%) were much more likely than women(69.3%) to agree with this statement. Whilefaculty overall (79.3%) believed that faculty ofcolor were treated fairly at their institutions,Asian/Pacific Islander (83.8%) and White(81.0%) faculty were more likely to agree thatfaculty of color are treated fairly than theirfaculty peers who identify as Latino/a (58.8%)or Black (61.4%) (see Figure 2).

Faculty whofeel such uneasiness may feel as though theyneed to work even harder to keep up with theirseemingly highly productive colleagues. Suchfeelings are often exacerbated among facultyfrom historically marginalized or vulnerablegroups, including faculty of color, women,and those without the protections of tenure.Although half of all full-time faculty (51.0%)felt they needed to work harder than theircolleagues to be perceived as a legitimate scholar,agreement with this statement varied considerably by race/ethnicity, gender, and faculty rank.More than three out of five women (61.0%)believed they needed to work harder than theircolleagues to be perceived as a legitimate scholarcompared to just 43.6% of men. Disaggregatingthe data by race/ethnicity leads to even largergaps between faculty of color and their Whitecounterparts. For example, substantially moreBlack (72.2%), Asian (70.7%), Latino/a(70.6%), and Native American (66.7%) facultyperceived a need to work harder than their peersto gain legitimacy compared to just 46.8% ofWhite faculty who felt similarly.The salience of race as a factor in explainingvariation in faculty’s responses to believing theyneeded to work harder than their colleaguesbecomes clear when examining intersectionsof race/ethnicity and gender. Almost withoutexception, rates of agreement among faculty ofcolor, regardless of race, exceed the proportionof White male and female faculty who felt theyneeded to work harder than their colleagues togain legitimacy. As shown in Figure 3, Whitemen feel the least vulnerable among all racegender pairings with 39.0% believing theyneed to work harder than their colleagues tobe perceived as a legitimate scholar. Similarly,among women, White faculty felt the leastvulnerable, as just over half (57.3%) agreed withthe statement.By contrast, substantially higher proportionsof men and women faculty of color perceiveda need to work harder than their colleagues tobe thought of as legitimate scholars. Withoutexception, within each racial/ethnic group the5

The largest gender gapemerged among Native American faculty,as 97.7% of women agreed with this sentiment compared to 54.5% of men. Roughly20 percentage points separated the proportionof Black (81.6%) and Latina (81.4%) womenwho agreed with this statement from their Blackand Latino male colleagues (63.7% and 61.7%,respectively). Asian/Pacific Islander faculty hadthe narrowest gender gap at 4.5 percentagepoints (73.7% of women and 69.2% of men feltthey had to work harder than their colleagues togain legitimacy).Trying to gain legitimacy among colleaguesby putting in longer hours may be triggered byuncertainty with respect to security of employment. Although just one in 10 faculty (10.4%)experience “extensive” stress related to their jobsecurity, faculty who experience uncertaintyat work are much more likely to think theyneed to work harder than their colleagues to beperceived as a legitimate scholar. Overall, threeout of four faculty (76.2%) reporting “extensive”stress associated with job security also indicatedhaving a sense they needed to work harder than6Othertheir colleagues. Three in five faculty (60.0%)feeling “somewhat” stressed with respect tosecurity of employment agreed they needed tooutwork their peers compared to just 42.8% offaculty who did not report feeling stressed abouttheir job security. Nearly all Black (90.5%),Asian/Pacific Islander (88.3%), and multiracial(86.2%) faculty who experienced “extensive”stress associated with their security of employment also felt compelled to work harder thantheir colleagues. Although less pronounced,the trend also applies to White (72.6%) andLatino/a (72.7%) faculty.Another catalyst prompting perceptionsof needing to exert more effort than one’scolleagues may stem from a lack of claritysurrounding the promotion and tenure process.Compared to their peers who reported havinga clear understanding of the criteria used inpromotion and tenure decisions, faculty wholacked clarity on this issue were 1.5 times aslikely to feel compelled to work harder thantheir colleagues (66.1% vs. 45.6%).As shown in Figure 4, seven out of 10 faculty(69.7%) who strongly disagreed that criteriafor promotion and tenure decisions were clear

In fact more than one-thirdof those in lecturer titles (35.3%) are not satisfied. Faculty whose principal activity is teaching(72.2%) are less likely to be satisfied than thosewhose principal activity is service to clients/patients (79.3%), administration (82.6%), orresearch (82.6%).Satisfaction with the relative equity of salaryand job benefits varies by sex and race/ethnicityas well. In general female faculty (43.5%“Satisfied” or “Very Satisfied”) are less satisfiedwith the relative equity of salary and job benefitsthan their male colleagues (52.1%).

are not satisfied as well as 29.2% of biologicalsciences faculty (STEM) and 31.8% of fine artsfaculty (not STEM) are not satisfied.Faculty are asked how many hours during thetypical week they spend doing a variety of activities. Differences in amount of time teaching,preparing for teaching, and doing research/scholarly writing were found by level of satisfaction with the relative equity of salary and jobbenefits. The 7-point scale for this item rangesfrom “none” (coded as 0) to 21 or more (codedas 6). Means for this item were calculated foreach level of satisfaction of the salary and benefits equity variable.In general, as shown in Figure 6, the level ofsatisfaction increased as the mean hours per weekspent on teaching and preparing for teachingdecreased. For example, faculty who were notsatisfied had a mean of 2.56 on the hours perweek scheduled teaching item (2 represents1–4 hours per week and 3 represents 5–8 hoursIn general the level ofsatisfaction increased asthe mean hours per weekspent on teaching andpreparing for teachingdecreased.per week), while those who were very satisfiedhad a mean of 1.98 on the hours per week ofscheduled teaching item. The same relationship is true for the hours per week preparing forteaching, which includes grading and readingstudents’ papers. Those who were not satisfiedwith the relative equity of salary and job benefitshad a mean of 3.11, as compared to those whowere very satisfied who had a mean of 2.60.By contrast, as time spent doing research andFigure 6.

scholarly writing increased, so did the level ofsatisfaction, though the differences weren’t aslarge. Faculty who were not satisfied with equitysalary and benefits had an average of 2.13, whilethose who were very satisfied had an averageof 2.26. It is interesting to note that those whowere satisfied spent even more time on researchand scholarly writing, with a mean of 2.45.Faculty believe they are not preparedto deal with diversity-related conflictin the classroomThe HERI Faculty Survey has several questions related to campus climate, some of whichare dispersed throughout the core instrumentwhile others can be found in an optional campusclimate module.
