Evaluating faculty performance under the equal pay for equal work doctrine

The issue of sex discrimination in faculty employment has become a prominent legal and political concern, necessitating the development of objective empirical methods to determine the existence of patterns of discriminatory treatment. In this study, regression techniques are employed to apply the equal pay for equal work interpretation of the fair employment doctrine. Specifically, faculty promotion and salary policies at the University of Texas at Austin are analyzed to determine whether male and female faculty members are rewarded equally for equal academic qualifications and performances. This regression analysis tends to support the discrimination hypothesis with respect to both promotion and salary policies.     

The Impact of Centers and Institutes on Faculty Life: Findings from a Study of Life Sciences Faculty at Research-Intensive Universities’ Medical Schools

This article reports on the impact of organized research centers on professional effort, productivity, and perceptions of work satisfaction for life sciences faculty members at research intensive universities’ medical schools in the U.S. Results indicate that senior center-affiliated faculty members taught less but worked more total hours than peers not affiliated with centers. Senior affiliated faculty members were more productive than their non-affiliated peers and were more likely to be principal investigators on externally funded grants. Center-affiliated faculty members were more likely to be dissatisfied with their mix of activities and workload but more likely to be satisfied with job security and autonomy. Implications beyond this context are suggested. Sarah A. Bunton is a Senior Research Associate at the Association of American Medical Colleges in Washington DC. She received her B.A. from the University of Chicago, her M.A. from the University of Minnesota, and her Ph.D. in higher educational policy also from the University of Minnesota. Her research interests include postsecondary faculty work life and satisfaction, higher education organization, and student development. William T. Mallon is Assistant Vice President and Director of Organization and Management Studies at the Association of American Medical Colleges. Dr. Mallon received his B.A. and M.A. from the University of Richmond and his M.Ed. and Ed.D. in higher education policy from Harvard University. His research interests focus on the ways in which academic medical centers recruit and retain faculty and administrative leaders and the interorganizational relationships among medical schools, teaching hospitals, and parent universities.     

中小学校长培训师资队伍建设中存在的问题及其对策

培训师资队伍数量不足、质量偏低、比例失调、培训者培训不到位,是“十一五”中小学校长培训工作中暴露出来的非常突出的矛盾,它直接影响培训的质量和校长参与培训的积极性。问题形成的主要原因是因为从事培训教学工作的专职教师青黄不接、一些兼职教师的工作岗位的变换、缺乏对从事培训教学的师资的继续教育和教学的理论性要求不断提高,等其中缺乏对从事培训教学的师资的继续教育是诸多原因中的主要原因。要想有效解决这个问题,必须从加强培训者培训和加强制度建设两个方面入手,在省域区位内统筹解决。     

实践自由、审美自由与美的本质解答

实践自由与审美自由是两个不同层次的范畴，实践自由是产生形成审美自由的前提和基础，审美自由是在实践自由上的延伸和放大。美感不同于生理快感是超越生理快感的精神升华。以制造工具为前提的劳动实践是产生、形成、创造美和美感的物质基础，人由动物的心理心态结构转化为人的生理心态结构是产生、形成、创造美和美感的生理心理基础，而不断增长的物质化需求则是产生、形成、创造美和美感的源源不竭的动力。美是显现契合人的理想或本质力量并给人以精神愉悦的对象。     

维吾尔族学习者对汉语普通话辅音的听辨

文章通过对30名维吾尔族学习者和30名汉族学习者听辨汉语普通话辅音(不包含只出现于音节末的／η／)的情况进行调查,其结果验证了我们通过标记性区分假设作出的有关维吾尔族学习者听辨汉语辅音的难度层级预测。说明维吾尔族学习者听辨汉语辅音音位的难度层级是由维语和汉语的标记性质共同决定的, 这一研究结果对维吾尔族学习者的汉语辅音学习和教学有一定的参考价值。     

形式思维与艺术创造

从根本上来说,艺术最终要归结于一种形式。艺术本来就是人类对客体对象抽象和简化的形式化结果,形式是艺术思维的一个范畴,思维靠形式得以规范和调节。形式化思维能力取决于艺术家的形式感知能力。在艺术创造中,艺术思维与艺术形式建构是统一在一起的,体现在一种一体化的动力过程之中。
