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.
