Disciplinary Bias, Money Matters, and Persistence: Deans’ Perspectives on Science Faculty with Education Specialties (SFES)

We thank the CSU Colleges of Science deans who took time to share their perspectives on the SFES phenomenon in their colleges through interviews with us and to review initial drafts of this report. Additionally, we thank the two anonymous reviewers and the LSE monitoring editor for their constructive input on this article. We thank N. Pelaez and J. Rudd for their involvement in earlier research on SFES that set the stage for the current work, as well as our families for their ongoing patience and support. This study was supported by the Helmsley Trust and STEM Collaboratives grant 2014PG-EDU036 administered by the CSU Chancellor’s Office.
