Abstract
Problem Statement: Academic institutions have been feeling greater pressure of acting in conformity with universal values and education standards every passing day. However, the first step of an academic organization developing a vision and strategy to this end is its thorough understanding of present cultural properties. Hence, examining cultural properties of academic organizations by considering the perceptions of their faculty members as a dominant group must be given priority for the development of the research and student-training processes.
