The purposes of this research were to determine (1) the extent to which faculty are
employed by the types of institutions from which they earned their doctorates in the
United States, (2) the extent to which faculty have higher professional rank at employing
institutions tat are the same type of institutions as those from which they earned their
doctorates, (3) the extent to which female faculty are employed by the types of
institutions from which they earned their doctorates, (4) the extent to which female faculty
have higher professional rank at employing institutions that are the same type of
institutions as those from which they received their doctorates, and (5) the extent of
variability across academic disciplines in which faculty are employed by types of
institutions from which they earned their doctorates. An exhaustive review of the
literature on academic lineage was used to develop this research.
All stratified random sample of 260 institutions from 2,873 colleges and
universities was selected by Carnegie Foundation classification categories. Institutions
were selected at random until the number of faculty members in each category
corresponded to the estimated national distribution of faculty across Carnegie
classification categories (n=3,940).
