Three questions are addressed: (a) Has funding, in both constant and real dollars, for schools of education changed over the last 10 years? (b) Where do schools of education stand relative to other academic units with respect to funding? and (c) Has this rank changed over time? Results from data collected from six major research universities over the last 10 years indicate that schools of education do not hold a favorable position in the research university. With minor exceptions they are the lowest funded unit on campus and have lost ground over the last 10 years in both constant dollars and in relation to the majority of other disciplines. The results from this study raise questions about the ability of schools of education to afford major revision efforts that might result in better prepared teachers and administrators
