| Summary: | Faculty surveys at Baylor, Boston College, Brigham Young, and Notre Dame illustrate how faculty adapt to being at a "religious" university. The surveys show that: 1) most faculty report supporting both religious and academic goals; 2) conflicts between the two goals were typically resolved on the side of academics at Baylor, Notre Dame, and Boston College; 3) an association exists between the organizational structure of a university and the faculty attitudes towards their school's religious traditions; 4) faculty responses varied around three significant variables--denominational overlap with the sponsoring church, receiving a degree from their current university, and the college or school in which they teach; and 5) new, more complex metaphors are needed to describe the current state of higher education. |
