Sociology in the Academy
Though sociologists study a wide range of institutions, very little time is spent studying sociology's position and status in the academy. Using a variant of Dillman's 'total design method,' the author conducted a survey of 345 arts and sciences academic deans, asking them to select the top-ranked and second-ranked disciplines on a number of items. Sociology fared quite well or well on commitment and concern with students, success in conducting r…
A Qualitative Comparison of the Effectiveness of Private and Public Refugee Resettlement Programs
This article reports the results of a qualitative evaluation, through ethnographic interviews, of San Diego County's Catholic Charities' Wilson/Fish Demonstration Project (WF). The narratives of refugees who had been resettled by the WF were compared to those resettled by San Diego County's Department of Social Services' Refugee Employment Services System (RESS). In general, WF refugees reported gaining employment sooner and receiving cash paymen…
A Quantitative Comparison of the Effectiveness of Public and Private Refugee Resettlement Programs
This article reports the results of a quantitative evaluation of San Diego County's Catholic Charities' Wilson Fish Demonstration Project (WF). The WF Project was compared to San Diego County's Department of Social Services' (DSS's) Refugee Employment Services System. The comparison of the two groups showed that, on average, the refugees with the WF Project achieved higher rates of employment, sooner after arrival, resulting in shorter dependency…
The Academy under Siege
It is argued that the academy has been reluctant to discuss and defend the institution of academic tenure with the general public and that if the institution is to be saved, this reticence to talk about tenure must give way to a reasoned discussion of the merits of tenure. To this end, the authors offer a definition of what tenure is and a discussion on how it is achieved. They also discuss what tenure gives a faculty member, why it is in the bes…
Introduction
The first eight articles in this Special Issue on 'The Academy Under Siege' deal with tenure-related issues. The ninth and tenth articles deal with problems related to distance learning. The last two articles offer some practical suggestions on how the above problems can be addressed
Introduction to Special Rental Housing Issue of Housing & Society
A reappraisal of the social security-fertility hypothesis
There has been considerable debate in the literature regarding the social security-fertility hypothesis. By analyzing 81 countries for which data was available, numerous econometric models were developed to test both the relative importance of social security as a causal factor affecting fertility and the subsequent effect of lower fertility levels on social security expenditures. By controlling for economic development and testing the model at d…
Expectations for Future Home Ownership
The purpose of this paper is to analyze attitudes and expectations of young Americans about home ownership. A sample of 1011 university students was contacted in the fall of 1980. Multiple classification analysis is used to test the hypotheses of the study. The results show that students with larger family size goals, females, students from higher-income families, and students in business and the professional majors are more likely to expect to b…
On The Importance of Homeownership
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the attitudes of young Americans toward the importance of home ownership in personal and general terms. The data from about 1000 university students were analyzed using multiple classification analysis. The findings indicate that while the respondents thought it important for every American to be able to own a home, they attached even more importance to their personal homeownership. Political stance, race, …

Reply to Kelly, Cutright, and Hittle
The major thrust of Kelly et al.'s Comment is that the relationship found by me between level of social security and fertility is not at all causal but entirely spurious, and that it is eliminated when level of economic development is properly controlled. They demonstrated this by developing a and then controlling for this The resulting partial correlation coefficients are both small and statistically insignificant. In contrast, I controlled for …
Social Security and Fertility
A number of population scholars have asserted that social programs such as old-age programs lead to decreased fertility levels because parents need not rely on children for security in old age. There is, however, a paucity of empirical data on the above. This paper analyzes 67 countries and shows that social programs have a measurable negative effect on subsequent levels of fertility. In fact, the social programs appear to have as much of an inde…
