Research, reputation, and resources - The effect of research activity on perceptions of undergraduate education and institutional resource acquisition

Journal/Book: J High Educ. 1997; 68: 1050 Carmack Rd, Columbus, OH 43210. Ohio State Univ Press. 17.

Abstract: A factor analysis of 127 private and public universities finds that graduate and undergraduate academic reputations are largely explained by the same two factors, size and selectivity. Institutional research activity appears to be the most essential component of the size factor. It is proposed that reputation strongly influences college attendance choices, tuition setting, and other decisions directly affecting institutional resource acquisition.
