In "Faculty Misconduct in Collegiate Teaching, " higher
education researchers John Braxton and Alan Bayer address issues of
impropriety and misconduct in the teaching role at the
postsecondary level. Braxton and Bayer define and examine norms of
teaching behavior: what they are, how they come to exist, and how
transgressions are detected and addressed. Do faculty members
across various collegiate settings, for example, share views about
appropriate and inappropriate teaching behaviors, as they share
expectations regarding actions related to research? And what
mechanisms are utilized to correct inappropriate behavior on the
part of college and university teachers?
The authors' work is based on survey results obtained from
faculty members at research universities, liberal arts colleges,
and two-year community, junior, and technical colleges. Braxton and
Bayer's focus is on undergraduate teaching in four disciplines:
biology, history, mathematics, and psychology. In their analyses,
the authors examine how individual, disciplinary, and institutional
differences influence professorial behavior.
In contrast to the more explicitly understood and enforced rules
of conduct in research, the authors find that "teaching" norms are
informally defined and observed. They argue that a formal code of
ethics for undergraduate teaching would serve the dual purpose of
improving undergraduate education and elevating the status of
college teaching.
A groundbreaking study of contemporary academe, "Faculty
Misconduct in Collegiate Teaching" is required reading for all
university and college instructors and administrators
