The two projects included in this group presaged the increase in attention now being given to questions of faculty roles and rewards. The University of Nebraska project was conducted simultaneously with the discussions preceding the publication of Ernest Boyer's influential Scholarship Reconsidered and can be seen as a laboratory for exploring at a research university the issues that the Boyer work made a part of the national dialogue. The Rhode Island College project tests empirically the question of whether there is or can be a connection between student learning and faculty rewards for teaching.
