Popis: The ten top-ranked dental schools, as indicated in The Gourman Report, had hired significantly more faculty members from among their own graduates ( Mdn = 42.5%) than had ten randomly selected lower-ranked dental schools ( Mdn = 19.6%). However, the proportions of faculty members hired by the ten top-ranked dental schools from graduates of the top-ranked schools other than their own ( Mdn = 15.9%) were nearly identical to the proportions of faculty members hired by the lower-ranked schools from graduates of the ten top-ranked schools ( Mdn = 17.2%). Both top-ranked and lower-ranked schools showed wide variations in their tendencies to hire faculty from top-ranked schools. Some variables that might account for these variations in hiring practices are noted.
