Produktbeschreibung
In this provocative work, Mary Burgan surveys the deterioration of faculty influence in higher education. From campus planning, curriculum, and instructional technology to governance, pedagogy, and academic freedom, she urges far greater consideration for the perspective of the faculty. Informed by experience, fueled by conviction, and full of practical, strategic advice for the future, What Ever Happened to the Faculty? is an excellent resource for administrators and faculty who are eager to change the tone and trajectory of contemporary higher education. "An important book in understanding how the traditional rights and responsibilities of university faculty have been eroded . . . Burgan's wide experience makes her particularly effective in developing her argument."-- Radical Teacher "A spirited discussion."--Review of Higher Education "Burgan has a gift for telling stories and offering reasonable arguments in an engaging, compelling way."--Thought and Action "Full of interesting anecdotes and personal experience."--Academic Questions "[Burgan's] extensive academic and administrative background informs this insightful examination of the declining faculty influence in campus affairs and, more broadly, higher education."--College and Research Libraries
