This article presents the results of a survey of accounting department chairpersons. The responses indicate: (1) that departments that have not recently utilized the services of a visiting professor cite lack of need and financial resources as the primary reasons; and (2) that significant differences exist in the relative importance of reasons given for offering visiting professorships depending on whether the department is teaching or research oriented.
