Such measures have led universities to take the initiative to analyze them- selves. Penn State, the Universities of California, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and others have done exten- sive surveys of faculty productivity. "In states where budgets have been hard hit, faculty are feeling a lot of pres- sure," Andrea Wilger, assistant director of the Stanford Institute of Higher Education, said. "Class size has grown; there are constrained resources, etc..." Most professors average a 54-hour work week. Some critics question these numbers, claiming they are self-reported. "thebesi But dozens of studies by universities, state governments, institutional researchers and federal agendies, using different methods, consistently arrive at the same results. Finding's by the Stanford Institute's study of 19 institutions show similar work loads. "Overall, we found faculty are very, very hardworking," Wilger said. "It is not that they aren't working hard, but what they are choosing to spend their time on." At larger state universities and well- endowed private colleges, faculty typi- cally teach a maximum of two courses per term. But "teaching" also includes class preparation, grading, student advis- ing, independent studies and graduate thesis supervision. According to the U.S. Department of Education, faculties spend the most time in the classroom at community colleges, liberal arts colleges and other private col- leges (roughly 60-70 percent of their work time). Of course, there are "deadwood" professors out there, resting on their tenure. Professors have a tremendous amount of leeway about how they sched- ule their time and sometimes this leads to abuses. According to Stanford Institute's report, faculty are concerned about how the "deadwood" affect higher education's image. One professor said: "We have people

who can take advantage of the system - they don't care about teaching they're tenured." But most faculty agree that dead- wood's are the minority, not the majority. And instead of having reforms legis- lated from the statehouse, most universi- ties would like to correct their own prob- lems. "We prefer to solve it ourselves rather than have solutions from the out- side," Dooris said. 8 THE FAMUAN /APRIL 6, 1 995 THE FAMUAN /APRIL 6. 1995 9 OPINION FAMUAN EDITORIAL BOARD SBI dress code unfair to black students Dana Thompson.
