Abstract	Few studies have explored the ethical conduct of college faculty in Kentucky's institutions of higher education. This study used a causal-comparative design to determine that there were no differences among faculty at three church-affiliated and three non-church affiliated, public institutions in Kentucky. Full-time faculty employed at those colleges voluntarily completed a modified version of the College Teaching Behaviors Inventory (CTBI) instrument. Gender-based perceptions were also measured using the CTBI instrument. Using an independent samples t-test, female respondents (M = 4.4667) were shown to have significantly different views than male respondents (M = 4.2702) with regard to issues involving comments made about students and colleagues, t(145) = 2.254, p less than 0.03. With respect to grading practices that consider non-academic performance in determining grades, female respondents (M = 4.1651) also indicated significantly different views than their male counterparts (M = 3.9624), t(145) = 2.395, p less than 0.02. The following are appended: (1) Informed Consent Statement; (2) Permission to Use CTBI; (3) Original CTBI: College Teaching Behaviors Inventory; (4) Modified CTBI: College Teaching Behaviors Inventory; (5) Table of Means and Standard Deviation for Behaviors Included in the Modified CTBI (by Institutional Type); and (6) Table of Means and Standard Deviation for Behaviors Included in the Modified CTBI (by Gender). (Contains 4 tables.) (As Provided).
