Chief among the sources is the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF), a survey that at roughly five-year intervals since 1988 has canvassed a representative sample of faculty members teaching in Title IV-participating, degree-granting, public and private not-for-profit institutions. Information from the NSOPF can be developed for specific disciplinary areas because, unlike other systematic national data sources, the NSOPF asks respondents for their principal teaching field. The NSOPF data presented here come mainly from the study's 2004 admin istration, the most recent, which asked respondents about their work in the academic year 2003-04. The findings from the NSOPF are based on a sample: questionnaires were sent to 35,000 people, and the survey had a weighted response rate of 76%. The population figures developed for this report are estimates based on the weights the Department of Education assigns to raw responses.","PeriodicalId":262686,"journal":{"name":"ADE Bulletin","volume":"2009 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129616969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I point this out not to sing our praises but to suggest that the \"complex situation,\" as the report calls it, of trends that must be addressed before they become a crisis is already being addressed (5). It is not going to be resolved once and for all, mind you, because these are issues that must be continually engaged. Nonetheless, there are many examples, I suspect, of departments already addressing and employing the practices, calibrations, conceptions, and facilitations recommended by the task force. It's just that such examples or models are not, as far as I can tell, emanating from doc toral programs or traveling in a trickle-down fashion. The discussion we should have on these recommendations must stop being \"vertical\"?as if the PhDs sent to master's and baccalaureate institutions go brain-dead or incommunicado when (and if) they find a position?and must become dispersed horizontally across the spectrum of departments, colleges, and universities.","PeriodicalId":262686,"journal":{"name":"ADE Bulletin","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124274745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cowering colleagues cluster and whisper in fear of an approaching fate, unknown yet foreseen for so long and with such uncanny longing. The setting sun casts dark and lugubri ous shadows through the dusty reading room lined with decaying vol umes, while perched atop the molding above the double-locked door, a raven smirks and quoths: nevermore. Ladies and gentlemen, living and otherwise, the mood in the hu manities these days is not sunny. Doom and gloom abound, predictions of the nearing end are common, while agitated panic and immobilizing despair take turns standing guard at the gates where the barbarians are expected momentarily. How could it be otherwise, given what we see: enrollments wither away, budgets dwindle, and faculty lines disappear silently into the murky night. Students seem to forsake our fields of deep wisdom for the superficial temptations of gilded pathways. This is indeed the preferred explanation of our predicament: the filthy lucre of feared economic forces, which take the forms of the corporate uni versity, preprofessionalism, or the neoliberal venality of globalization, undermines the traditional standing of the humanities, destroying cul ture, while melting our once solid values into the polluted air of mias mic markets.","PeriodicalId":262686,"journal":{"name":"ADE Bulletin","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115966455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A precisely similar train ing of the mind takes place, and a similar sense of the unity of the subject is built up\" (10-11). \"Everyone who has seriously studied literature knows . . .\"?I have been speculating about exactly what sort of claim this is. Is it really a universal claim that anyone, anywhere, and at any time, who has ever studied literature seriously knows this? Or does \"everyone\" mean the serious student of literature who Frye imagines might read this work of literary theory? Or could the claim be, rather, a covert stipulation of \"seri ously studied\"? Anyone who has seriously studied literature knows this, so that if you don't know it, you have been insufficiently serious, merely dilet tantish, in your study of literature. At any rate, Frye, a serious man, dis plays great confidence that there is a group of those who have seriously studied literature who know that this study is coherent and progressive and who have a sense of the unity of the subject. Do we know this still? Neither the current offerings of English departments nor recent writ ings about literature provide much evidence that we do, but perhaps we do know this still, at some level; or perhaps we know it only as repressed or","PeriodicalId":262686,"journal":{"name":"ADE Bulletin","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122876698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
