  2. The purpose of the Faculty, Academic Careers and Environments (FACE) project is to understand who faculty are, what their academic careers look like, and how the environments in which they work shape their ability to thrive as instructors, researchers and public scholars in the community. This report describes the two-year pilot study of how best to create a national study of faculty working at non-profit colleges and universities of all types across the country, given the social media and survey research environment of the 2020s.

  3. This report provides an overview of a new conceptual model of faculty work in the 21st century, one that addresses today’s context, where academic capitalism and the gig academy have impacted faculty’s work and work environments and where demographic shifts have led to a change in the makeup of the academic workforce. This framework explores dimensions of faculty experiences, roles, and working conditions across various societal, institutional, and individual contexts.

  4. Given the critical role of institutional data collection for the FACE project, we conducted focus groups with institutional researchers from different institutional contexts to inform our institution-level data collection instruments and processes because we were interested in speaking first with the people who would be responding to our requests at the institutional level. We conducted focus groups of institutional data providers to understand the specific data that institutions maintain on faculty (e.g., length and continuity of employment, advancement, office space, instructional load), which institutional offices maintain those data, the format of the data, and institutional policies related to data sharing. The information gained from the focus groups informed the development of our data collection procedures, particularly in terms of identifying survey language and definitions.
