Colleges Fudge F/T Faculty Employment Numbers

by P.D. Lesko

EACH YEAR U.S. News and World Report publishes a list of university and college rankings based, in part, on information supplied by participating institutions. The Petersen's Guides to college and university programs are compiled in much the same way. Colleges and universities supply answers to questions about the institution and its faculty. During 2001, there were significant discrepancies between the percentages of full-time faculty reported by the top 10 institutions as ranked in 2001 by U.S. News and World Report, and also profiled in the 2001 Petersen's Guide to 4 Year Colleges.
