Abstract
This descriptive study makes use of the 1999 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF:99) public access database. It examines the demographic characteristics of full-time faculty in American public 2-year colleges at the close of the 20th century and how these characteristics differ across and within age groups. This study also examines levels of agreement between demographically subdivided groups of faculty members on opinions, institutional support and resources, and their degree of satisfaction with various aspects of the work environment. It also assesses the “gaps” that exist between various demographic groups. Implications for policy and practice, as well as recommendations for future research, are discussed.
