Faculty members’ perceptions of these retention initiatives are measured according to awareness of their departments’ and institutions’ academic and co-curricular activities, dedication of resources towards promoting retention, and communication about available support services. Results revealed variations among faculty members in their perceptions of departmental and institutional retention efforts according to the subcultures analysed. Implications for faculty members, student affairs staff members, and administration are considered. ...
