Researchers interested in faculty role performance have used a range of conceptual approaches to study productivity and career development. The often inconsistent and conflicting conclusions regarding the cause(s) of behavioral change over time or age group differences have resulted in a growing appreciation of the multiple dimensions of human aging. Increasingly one reads about the need for interdisciplinary approaches to research in this area. …
Research Note: Dimensions of Program Quality in Regional Universities
This study replicated and extended research by Conrad and Blackburn on program quality in regional universities. The sample doubled the number of departments, increased the number of institutions and programs, and added an additional state, for a total of three states in this study.

Utilizing outside experts as an independent measure of academic leadership and/or institutional quality is a potentially effective technique. This note reports findings which introduce cautions with re…
