Abstract

The results of the Carnegie International Survey of the Academic Profession reveals a marked disenchantment on the part of faculty with academic administrators. Faculty are generally content with various aspects of their careers except in this one area. There is a generalized lack of trust in administrators, and a feeling that the academic profession is losing its autonomy. This pattern of hostility is quite similar in the twelve countries included in the survey.
