This paper describes the effort of the California Geriatric Education Center (CGEC) at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to rectify the severe shortage of social work faculty trained in aging as reported in a recent national survey of schools of social work. The lack of gerontological social work faculty is a major barrier to the development of aging curricula in BSW and MSW programs. The CGEC Social Work Faculty Development Program (SWFDP) presents a model for faculty development in gerontology which addresses major issues in social work education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It highlights the affidavit of Richard Green, professor of psychiatry at the University of California in Los Angeles, concerning a research which claims that homosexual orientation is an innate feature and not a product of chosen behavior. It highlights the results of Green's in depth research on the sexual orientation of an individual.
