Faculty Attitudes toward Adult Students.

Galerstein, Carolyn; Chandler, Joan M.

Improving College and University Teaching, v30 n3 p133-37 Sum 1982

A faculty survey at the University of Texas at Dallas showed faculty had no objections to most students' being over 30, did not favor age segregation, found older students better motivated, and felt no need for changes in academic standards. Special training for dealing with adult students is not recommended. (MSE)
