Abstract
The paper studies the perceptions and realities of female faculty compensation at American colleges and universities. The paper determines that faculty women earn lower salaries than faculty men and they tend to occupy, in noticeably larger proportions, the lower rungs of the academic hierarchy. The paper discusses how disparities in women's pay and promotions are reflections of the wider society's prejudices and preconceptions. The paper recommends that college and university faculty and administrators work together to change views and institute real programs to change these long-established prejudices. The paper includes appendices.

From the Paper
"American society has changed dramatically in recent decades, and with it, the American workplace. Age-old assumptions and practices have been given up in favor of new outlooks and techniques. The last third of the Twentieth Century was a time of leveling, a period in which long oppressed groups fought for and, in many cases, gained their rights. Americans on all rungs of the socio-economic ladder looked at, and re-evaluated, the fundamental premises and promises of their nation and society. The United States was a country conceived in liberty, justice, and equality for all, principals that had not always been lived up to; opportunities that had not always been made available to all. After a long and hard struggle, ethnic and religious minorities obtained equality under the law. They fought for and won equal recognition in the voting booth, in the restaurants, clubs, schools, and the workplace. Conscientious citizens looked beyond the obvious minorities and discovered a full half of the American population that was suffering from discrimination. From the beginning, America's women had been denied their right to a full and equal participation in the American dream."

Abstract
In order to meet the future demand, there will need to be a substantial increase in the number of newly educated nurses dispatched into the workforce. As a result, the increased supply will make an expansion in the nursing faculty and other educational resources, that much more of a priority. It stands to reason that a demand for newly educated nurses will influence the demand for faculty, as federal agencies have predicted an increase in new nursing positions based upon the growth of North America's aging population and their affiliated health care needs combined with the continued development of medical technology and practice that are dependent upon qualified and knowledgeable nurses:

Abstract
The paper explores the research activities of a particular faculty member in the faculty of biology. The paper has three sections; the first section is a brief introduction, the second section deals with the research itself and the final section is a conclusion.

From the Paper
"Biological research involves a wide range of researchers. Each of these researchers adds to biological knowledge as a whole. In this sense biological researchers build upon the research of other researchers. In order to prove this argument it is necessary to look at the research of a particular faculty member. By studying the research activity of this faculty member we can see how they were influenced by other researchers and the potential implicates of their research. The faculty member that will be examined is Suraj Unniappan."

Abstract
In this article, the writer reviews literature pertaining to the underlying factors behind the nursing faculty shortage. Among these is the "ripple effect" of commercialized health care on quality and equity of nursing as a career, the less competitive allure of the academe and the lack of initiative and incentive among those in the profession to retain and replenish nursing faculty.

From the Paper
"Nursing education lays the foundation for every nurses' practice. Whether specializing in a particular field, practicing as a generalist, pursuing graduate education, research or in an administrative role, nurses must rely on higher-schooled faculty to educate them. Unfortunately, even faculty are dwindling in number and is in danger of coming short of churning out new graduates."

Abstract
The paper discusses the nature of the faculty and how this component of higher education has evolved with various concerns evident through the years. The paper also considers the future. The paper draws heavily on Arthur M. Cohen's "The Shaping of American Higher Education".

From the Paper
"Cohen has noted that all educational institutions have customs, traditions, values and practices-many of which are from historical trends that affect students, faculty, staff and trustees, and points out that historical analysis helps to more fully understand the inception and strength of institutional norms, the encounters between actors and opportunities and constraints encountered by institutions. Given the foregoing, it can be seen that in order to understand the changing nature of higher education and in particular the changing nature of the..."

Abstract
The paper relates that workers' compensation is especially significant because it represents the forefront of the welfare state. The paper then explains that workers' compensation legislation was introduced in opposition to the common law because of a no-fault system which made employers liable for compensation to victims irrespective of who was to blame but also gave employers protection from civil suits even in cases where they were negligent (Stritch 549). The paper discusses how workmen's compensation legislation finally evolved into a social policy institution which contends with more than "one million claims per year and which costs over $7 billion in benefits and administrative expenditures" (AWCBC 20).

Abstract
This paper is an executive summary on compensation, including total rewards systems, federal laws on compensation, and future trends in compensation and benefits. The paper includes definitions of pay (e.g. base pay, stock options, recognition).

From the Paper
"The study of compensation has comprised an evaluation of total reward systems, relevant federal laws for compensation, and benefits and future trends in compensation. Each of these topics is integral to a complete understanding of compensation and benefits. According to Sandra O'Neal, writing in the ACA Journal, total reward systems promote improved business results and higher employee contributions, embracing everything that employees value in the employment relationship. Total rewards can be broken down into four categories; pay, benefits, learning and development and work environment. Pay includes..."
