Fact 8 - Teaching-Oriented Faculty
Independent college alumni surveyed are more likely than public university alumni to say they benefited very much from high-quality, teaching-oriented faculty members (54 percent vs. 30 percent).

Survey Question: Please tell me how much you personally benefited from your college offering a high quality teaching-oriented faculty. (Rating a “5” on a 5-point scale with "1" meaning you did "not benefit at all" and a "5" meaning you "benefited very much.")
