Tóm tắt

This study ascertains the opinions of faculty in Catholic colleges and universities towards both the religious and the professional value dimension;the identity crisis;of Catholic higher education. Responses from 551 faculty in universities and mens, womens, and coeducational liberal arts colleges permitted analysis of variance tests by institutional type, academic rank, field of study, status (religiousflay), age, sex, and educational socialization. The instrument provided data for testing hypotheses on the Identity Issue, a Catholic Character Issue, and on two indices; Catholic Environment and Professional Ideology. Statistically significant differences exist among almost all faculty subgroups with respect to their acceptance of the values associated with the professional ideology as this acceptance is affected by the religious dimension of Catholic higher education. It appears that for most Catholic colleges and faculty, pressures are such that their future direction seems inevitably to lead towards the non-sectarian independent college and university model. © 1971 Oxford University Press.
