From page 87... ... In addition to the 102 institutions represented in this discipline, another 6 were initially identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment: University of New Mexico -- Albuquerque University of North Dakota -- Grand Forks Yeshiva University Graduate Theological Union -- California Illinois State University -- Normal Saint John's University The last three institutions chose not to participate in the assessment in any discipline. History programs at the other three institutions have not been included in the evaluations in this discipline, since in each case the study coordinator either indicated that the institution did not at that time have a research-doctorate program in history or failed to provide the information requested by the committee.

From page 88... ... These individuals constituted 54 percent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and 6 percent of the faculty population in the 102 research-doctorate programs being evaluated.4 More than two-thirds of the survey participants had earned their highest degree prior to 1970, and a majority held the rank of full professor. 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 102 history programs (and are given in Table 6.1~.
