| Summary: | This study compares the educational attainments, professional accomplishments, and value commitments of faculty members at five Catholic colleges.Religious and lay members of the faculties generally were remarkably similar in educational attainments and professional accomplishments. However, they differed significantly in their value commitments, with the religious faculty members attaching more importance to the value specific functions of a Catholic college. These differences in value commitment were maintained when the age, educational attainments, and sources of Ph.D. degrees of the religious and lay faculty members were held constant.Among the lay faculty members, “youth” (age 40 and under), greater educational attainment, and Ph.D. degree from a university other than Catholic all tended to decrease their commitment to specific values traditionally associated with Catholic education. However, these faculty members retained a strong commitment to the more general values of character building and advancing the goals of the college. |
