The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is designed to collect data from postsecondary institutions in the United States (50 states and the District of Columbia) and other jurisdictions, such as Puerto Rico. For IPEDS, a postsecondary institution is defined as an organization open to the public that has as its primary mission the provision of postsecondary education. IPEDS defines postsecondary education as formal instructional programs with a curriculum designed primarily for students who are beyond the compulsory age for high school. This includes academic, vocational, and continuing professional education programs and excludes institutions that offer only avocational (leisure) and adult basic education programs. Participation in IPEDS was a requirement for the 6,568 institutions that participated in Title IV federal student financial aid programs such as Pell Grants or Stafford Loans during the 2003-04 academic year. Title IV schools include traditional colleges and universities, 2- year institutions, and for-profit degree- and non-degree-granting institutions (such as schools of cosmetology), among others. In addition, the four U.S. Service Academies are included in the IPEDS universe as if they were Title IV institutions. Tabulations in this report present selected data collected during the winter 2003-04 IPEDS collection about faculty and staff employed at Title IV degree- granting institutions 4 in the United States. Degree granting institutions are those offering associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctor's, and first-professional degrees.

Higher education is becoming destabilized in the face of extraordinarily rapid change. The composition of the academy's most valuable asset—the faculty—and the essential nature of faculty work are being transformed. Jack H. Schuster and Martin J. Finkelstein describe the transformation of the American faculty in the most extensive and ambitious analysis of the American academic profession undertaken in a generation. A century ago the American research university emerged as a new organizational form animated by the professionalized, discipline-based scholar. The research university model persisted through two world wars and greatly varying economic conditions. In recent years, however, a new order has surfaced, organized around a globalized, knowledge-based economy, powerful privatization and market forces, and stunning new information technologies. These developments have transformed the higher education enterprise in ways barely imaginable in generations past. At the heart of that transformation, but largely invisible, has been a restructuring of academic appointments, academic work, and academic careers—a reconfiguring widely decried but heretofore inadequately described. This volume depicts the scope and depth of the transformation, combing empirical data drawn from three decades of national higher education surveys. The authors' portrait, at once startling and disturbing, provides the context for interpreting these developments as part of a larger structural evolution of the national higher education system. They outline the stakes for the nation and the challenging work to be done.

This E.D. TAB presents findings from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) Winter 2004-05 data collection, which included two required survey components: Employees by Assigned Position (EAP) for fall 2004 and Salaries (SA) for academic year 2004-05; the Fall Staff (S) component was optional for fall 2004. These data were collected through the IPEDS web-based data collection system. Tabulations in this report present selected data items collected from, or imputed for, the 6,374 Title IV institutions in the United States that are eligible for at least one component of the Winter 2004-05 data collection. Data for the 165 institutions located in other jurisdictions, such as Puerto Rico, are not included in the tabulations in this report. Institutions provided data about faculty and staff employed at Title IV participating institutions in the United States as well as salaries and fringe benefits of those full-time instructional faculty at Title IV degree-granting institutions in the United States. Degree-granting institutions are those offering associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctor's, and first-professional degrees. The information presented about salaries and fringe benefits have been adjusted. Total salary outlays for full-time faculty (by rank) on 11/12-month contracts were adjusted to 9/10-month outlays by multiplying the outlay for 11/12-month contracted faculty by 0.8182. The "equated" outlays were then added to the outlays for 9/10-month faculty to determine an average salary for each rank. Salaries for faculty on less than-9-month contracts are not included. Appended are: (1) Survey Methodology; and (2) Glossary of IPED Terms. [This report was produced with assistance from RTI International.] (Contains 9 tables.).

Mission and Money goes beyond the common focus on elite universities and examines the entire higher education industry, including the rapidly growing for-profit schools. The sector includes research universities, four-year colleges, two-year schools, and non-degree-granting career academies. Many institutions pursue mission-related activities that are often unprofitable and engage in profitable revenue raising activities to finance them. This book contains a good deal of original research on schools' revenue sources from tuition, donations, research, patents, endowments, and other activities. It considers lobbying, distance education, and the world market, as well as advertising, branding, and reputation. The pursuit of revenue, while essential to achieve the mission of higher learning, is sometimes in conflict with that mission itself. The tension between mission and money is also highlighted in the chapter on the profitability of intercollegiate athletics. The concluding chapter investigates implications of the analysis for public policy.
