From page 145... ... Four programs were initiated since 1970, and only one institution -- Utah State University -- had two zoology programs included in the assessment. In addition to the 69 institutions represented in this discipline, another 8 were initially identified as meeting the criteria3 for inclusion in the assessment: CUNY -- Graduate School University of California -- Santa Barbara Florida State University -- Tallahassee Illinois Institute of Technology l~linois -- Urbana-Champaign University of ~~.

These individuals constituted 59 percent of those asked to respond to the survey in this discipline and 8 percent of the faculty population in the 70 research-doctorate programs being evaluated.5 A majority of the survey participants had earned their highest degree prior to 1970, and almost half 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 4As mentioned in Chapter II, data for measures 04-07 are not reported if they are based on the survey responses of fewer than 10 FY1975-79 program graduates.
