Methodology Questions prepared by Inside Higher Ed, in collaboration with Gallup. Polling conducted by Gallup. Results from 654 provosts or chief academic officers. Complete anonymity for respondents, but answers coded to allow for breakdown by tenure status, demographics, etc.

Demands for Diversity in Faculty and Curriculum

Mixed Feelings on Faculty Hiring Goals 31% of provosts say their institutions can meet hiring goals focused on diversity; 31% of provosts disagree. Provosts are more likely to think that their targets are unrealistic (35%) than that they are realistic (29%). 62% of provosts agree or strongly agree that “my college will need to make hiring decisions in new ways in order to achieve meaningful increases in the number of minority faculty members.”

Diversifying the Curriculum Statement % Agree -- Private % Disagree -- Private % Agree -- Public % Disagree -- Public Curriculum at my college should be revised to add emphasis on diversity. 45% 23% 40% 26% Undergraduates should be required to take one course on diversity. 80% 8% 69% 17% Colleges should add support for departments that focus on study of minority groups. 32% 27% 25% 38% Demands of student groups related to curriculum should be turned over to faculty bodies for action. 56% 20% 58%

Bias in Student Reviews of Professors Provosts report that such reviews matter. Provosts report that they are aware of the increasing consensus about bias in the reviews. 32% of provosts at public institutions and 53% at private institutions are reconsidering their use of these reviews.

Predicting the Status Quo on Adjuncts Private All Public Community Colleges Expect less reliance on adjuncts 6% 14% 4% Expect no change 60% 63% 61% Expect greater reliance on adjuncts 33% 23% 35%

Provosts on Whether Institutions Are ‘Very Effective’ Area Private All Public Community Colleges Providing a quality undergrad education 69% 66% 68% Preparing students for the world of work 49% 45% Offering undergraduate support services 47% Controlling rising prices 19% 44% Assessing learning outcomes 32% 29% 31% Preparing students for engaged citizenship 34% 20% 15% Using data effectively 30%

Assessment: Provosts vs. Professors Statement % Private Provosts Agreeing % Public Provosts Agreeing % Community College Provosts Agreeing % Faculty Members Agreeing Assessment has improved quality of teaching and learning at my college. 56% 46% 50% 27% Assessment is more about keeping accreditors/politicians happy than about teaching and learning. 20% 35% 37% 65%

The Liberal Arts 90% of provosts agree or strongly agree (65% strongly agree) that liberal arts education “is central to undergraduate education -- even in professional programs.” 54% agree or strongly agree with the statement “I expect to see the number of liberal arts colleges decline significantly over the next five years.” 60% believe that “politicians, presidents and boards are increasingly unsympathetic to liberal arts education.” 33% of provosts agree or strongly agree that liberal arts education “has become too divorced from the career needs of students and graduates.” 33% agree that “liberal arts faculty members are not sufficiently interested in the desire of parents and students for career preparation.”

Competency-Based Education Growth across the board is evident in interest – and in institutions offering some instruction through CBE. Concerns about impact on general education appear to be declining. Public-private gap continues and is unlikely to narrow.

Trigger Warnings … After Chicago Letter Let professors decide. Institutional policies rare. Some concerns on impact.

Q&A Your questions. Suggestions for future coverage.

With Thanks …
