Faculty Perspectives and Practice in an Urban Community College.

Weis, Lois

Higher Education, v14 n5 p553-74 Oct 1985

Data from an ethnographic study of an urban community college are used to describe elements of faculty culture, explore the reasons for the culture's form and characteristics, discuss the ways in which the culture may be linked to institutional outcomes, and offer a framework for viewing faculty-student conflict.
