Lynne C. Elkes – Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council, 2023
Honors faculty are defined by their dedication to their craft and their enormous impact on students in every discipline. However, their role within the larger university setting is nebulous, leading to an undervaluation of their contributions to higher education in an era of negative perceptions of the industry. Honors faculty can be tenured,…

Mark C. Gillen; Caroline A. Baker; Vanessa H. Mercer – Journal of Faculty Development, 2024
The evolution from new faculty to department chair, through tenure and promotion, has been widely studied, yielding ideas for success.

American Association of University Professors, 2024
The proportion of faculty who are appointed each year to tenure-line positions is declining at an alarming rate. Because faculty tenure is the only secure protection for academic freedom in teaching, research, and service, the declining percentage of tenured faculty means that academic freedom is increasingly at risk. Academic freedom is a…

Ahn, Ruth – International Journal of Teacher Leadership, 2018
Most tenure-line professors have heard and experienced the anxiety-causing "publish or perish" initiation rites in the world of higher education. Fresh Ph.D. graduates going into the professoriate often worry and agonize over this grueling process. However, one of the most central missions of many Tier 2 universities in the U.S. isn't…

Duffy, Ali – Research in Dance Education, 2020

White, Susan C. – Physics Teacher, 2014
In May, we noted that the percentage of women among physics faculty members reached 14% in 2010. The 14% is a new high--the continuation of a trend seen since we began measuring these data in 1998 when it was 8%. This growth in women's representation is seen at all levels of the professoriate--from instructors through full professors. In…

Wilson, Robin – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2012
Life as an associate professor with tenure can be even more isolating and overwhelming than being an assistant professor on the tenure track. The path to achieving what amounts to higher education's golden ring is well marked and includes guidance from more-experienced peers. But once a professor earns tenure, that guidance disappears, the amount…

Braxton, John M.; Proper, Eve; Bayer, Alan E. – Johns Hopkins University Press, 2011

Kezar, Adrianna – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2012
In academia, there are two different worlds, one inhabited by tenure-track and the other by non-tenure-track faculty.

In this first world, people envision faculty simultaneously increasing their…

Academe, 2009
Boston University (BU) has had a history of contentious relations between administrators and faculty. John Silber, who ran the university from the early 1970s through the late 1990s, gave faculty little say in university governance, and an "us versus them" atmosphere soon developed. In 2004, however, major changes in the board of…
