	While the majority of junior faculty at America{\textquoteright}s colleges and universities are satisfied at work, some institutions are doing particularly well in this regard. The Tenure-Track Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey, administered by the Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE) in 2005 and 2006, determined that some colleges and universities are {\textquotedblleft}exemplary{\textquotedblright} on certain key dimensions of faculty work/life.\&nbsp; The COACHE Survey considered the following categories in its assessment: tenure practices, clarity, and reasonableness; effectiveness of key policies (e.g., mentoring, childcare, and leaves); nature of work: teaching, research and support services; work and family balance; satisfaction with compensation; climate, culture, and collegiality; and global satisfaction.



	{\textquotedblleft}We are again recognizing those colleges and universities that are succeeding in their efforts to improve the quality of work/life for their junior faculty,{\textquotedblright} said Dr. Cathy Trower, COACHE Director. \&nbsp;{\textquotedblleft}By earning and maintaining the distinction of being a great place for new scholars to work, these exemplary institutions will be most able to attract and retain top academic talent in an increasingly competitive faculty labor market.{\textquotedblright}
