The results, released Monday in The Chronicle's third annual report
on The Academic Workplace, are based on a survey of more than 42,000
employees at 277 colleges and universities.In all, only 97 of the
277 institutions achieved "Great College to Work For" recognition
for specific best practices and policies. Results are reported for
small, medium and large institutions, with LCU included among the
smaller universities with less than 3,000 students.

Lincoln Christian University won
honors in three categories this year:
"This is a very satisfying affirmation of Lincoln Christian
University, but our real goal is not recognition -- it's being a
community that values the needs and contributions of every
individual. In that sense everyone at LCU helps to make this a great
place to work," said LCU President Keith H. Ray.
The Chronicle is the nation's most important source of news about
colleges and universities. "With the Great Colleges program, The
Chronicle can provide even more of the vital information our readers
rely on -- unbiased reporting on which colleges are being innovative
in their workplace practices," said Jeffrey J. Selingo, The
Chronicle's editor.
The survey results are based on a two-part assessment process: an
institutional audit that captured demographics and workplace
policies from each institution; and a survey administered to
faculty, administrators and professional support staff. The primary
factor in deciding whether an institution received recognition was
the employee feedback.

To administer the survey and analyze the results, The Chronicle
worked with ModernThink LLC, a strategic human capital consulting
firm that has conducted numerous "Best Places to Work" programs,
surveying hundreds of thousands of employees nationwide.
Great Colleges to Work For is one of the largest and most
respected workplace-recognition programs in the country. For more
