A Practitioner's Guide tothe Business of Faculty Affairs is the new "go-to- book" that every higher education leader who has a role in supporting faculty recruitment, retention, and success should read and utilize in their daily practice. The "business as usual" approach to faculty affairs is no longer viable in today's environment and the innovative, in-depth strategies outlined in this book provide a roadmap for how to center holistic support for faculty at all levels to advance their success and the success of students.
