Changing demographics and a new emphasis on economic development,
internationalization, and technology, are changing the ways in
which university faculty conduct their work. University and college
administrators need to be prepared to recruit, hire, and retain new
faculty for this new world, and this book is designed to help. In
addition to providing a wealth of data about the faculty of the
future, it offers practical advice from the authors, and from a
number of expert contributors, on recruiting and retaining new
faculty while providing a supportive environment for senior faculty
during a period of growth in higher education. The lengthy
bibliography directs administrators to informative resources on
particular topics that are important to their roles in working with
academic personnel. The statements of the contributors support the
data and conclusions of the authors, and, at the same time, reflect
the changing attitudes and expectations about faculty careers. The
authors also discuss the issues concerning non-tenure-track
faculty. A large and helpful bibliography directs administrators to
important resources on particular topics that are important to
their roles in working with academic personnel.
