Compensation and the classroom: Doctor of psychology programs.

Results of a survey of 19 doctoral psychology programs indicate that the majority of faculty in university-affiliated free-standing professional programs are part-time, and their primary income and professional identity are outside the educational program. Questions are raised concerning faculty commitment to student education, financial viability and institutional stability, the history of free-standing schools in other professions, and whether psychology should continue to be based in the university.
