... 2 Only three of the programs were initiated since 1970; and only the University of Pittsburgh had more than one program included in the assessment in this discipline. In addition to the 76 institutions represented in this discipline, another 7 were initially identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment: Brandeis University New York University Rockefeller University Southern Baptist Theological Seminary -- Kentucky SUNY at Binghamton Duquesne University U.S.

... These individuals constituted 68 percent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and 14 percent of the faculty population in the 77 research-doctorate programs being evaluated.5 Approximately one-fourth of the survey participants had earned their highest degree since 1970, and a majority were full professors. To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evaluations, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of faculty in 77 philosophy programs (and are given in Table 10.1~.

... This generalization results primarily from the fact that evaluators are not as likely to be familiar with the less prestigious programs, and consequently the mean ratings of these programs are usually based on fewer survey responses.
