NOTES

1. University of Colorado Boulder, “2015–2016 CU–Boulder Campus Entrepreneurship Initiative Seed Awards Proposal Guidelines”; University of Colorado Boulder, “Calling All Faculty and Staff to Think Entrepreneurially.”

2. Higher education officials typically view legislative requirements for reporting and disclosure, primarily through the Higher Education Act of 1965 and its amendments, as “too burdensome” (Nelson 2011). With more than $136 billion in federal student aid in fiscal year 2013 alone, it is fairly safe to say that there is little chance of a reduction in oversight of institutions and accrediting bodies any time soon (US Government Accountability Office 2014).

3. HERI Faculty Survey data have been weighted to provide a normative picture of the American college full-time undergraduate faculty. For more information see Research Methodology in Undergraduate Teaching Faculty: The 2013–2014 HERI Faculty Survey (http://www.heri.ucla.edu/monographs/HERI-FAC2014-monograph.pdf).

4. The item asking about hours per week spent on community and public service was added to the survey instrument in 1992–93.

5. Clarity scale: 5 = Very clear, 4 = Fairly clear, 3 = Neither clear nor unclear, 2 = Fairly unclear, 1 = Very unclear; Agreement scale: 5 = Strongly agree, 4 = Somewhat agree, 3 = Neither agree nor disagree, 2 = Somewhat disagree, 1 = Strongly disagree; Reasonableness scale: 5 = Very reasonable, 4 = Fairly reasonable, 3 = Neither reasonable nor unreasonable, 2 = Fairly unreasonable, 1 = Very unreasonable; Satisfaction scale: 5 = Very satisfied, 4 = Satisfied, 3 = Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, 2 = Dissatisfied, 1 = Very dissatisfied.

6. Similarly, the Kansas Study of Community College Instructional Cost and Productivity (known as the Kansas Study) was designed to elicit information about community colleges, again to give academic administrators in the community college sector comparative (benchmark) data to inform decision making at the participating institutions. Aggregate data sketch a portrait of faculty work in approximately 450 community colleges nationwide. The increasing complexities of faculty work and emerging multiple academies in which faculty perform their work beg for more in-depth analysis.

7. McGinnis and Long’s (1988) analyses were delimited to male biochemists who received PhDs in the United States in 1957, 1958, 1962, and 1963 and were employed in a faculty position at the time of the study.
