NEW YORK (NC)-The National Opinion Research at the University of Chicago has received a $65,000 Carnegie Corpomtion grant for a study of U. S. Catholic tQIleges and universities. The study will seek to "find out why some of them are at take up the question of the ex taining higher intellectual tent to which Catholic colleges standards and others are are "any longer substantially not," the Carnegie Corpor different from" other U. S. insti ation said in announcing the grant. The research will be directed .,. Father Andrew Greeley, a priest and sociologist who is a senior study director at the NORC. Father Greeley is cur 1;ently completing another study supported by Carnegie Funds on the effects of Catholic education on graduates' religious and toCial views. Target date for completion of ftte higher education study is late next year, it was announced. . Outlining the purposes of the .tudy, the educational founda tion quoted Father Greeley as laying that, although Catholic institutions of higher education account for approximately 12 per cent of U. S. college enroll ment, "relatively little" is known about them. Thus, it was said, while it is known that lay teachers, many of them non-Catholics, now make up about two-thirds of the faculties of Catholic colleges an increase of 10 per cent in 10 years-it is not known what im pact the changeover from a largely clerical faculty has had on the schools. Also, it was noted, relatively fittle is known about relations between lay and clerical faculty members and between lay fac ulty members and administra tors, who in the higher echelons are almost exclusively members of religious communities. The Carnegie Corporation said many educators believe that un til information on such mattars :as these is avai1able about Cath i)lic schools, "it will not be possible to assess differences between faculty and administra tion of the kind that have occur red this Spring at several uni versities as either necessar'!iy inherent in the organization of eh.m·ch-administered schoolis or as situations peculiar to those institutions."
