Analyzes data relating to college faculty's perception of their work based upon surveys conducted in Australian universities from the 1970s through the 1990s. Perceived attitudes are analyzed, compared, and contextualized across the decades, and conclusions are drawn about the perseverance of an academic culture under siege. (Author/MSE)
