Faculty Are Still There - Just Look Different,
By
This review is from: What Ever Happened to the Faculty?: Drift and Decision in Higher Education (Hardcover)
Burgan has provided the reader a comprehensive yet easy-to-read study on the status of higher education faculty. Faculty are still here, we just look different without tenure and are still very passionate about teaching.
Provided is a sobering evaluation of distance education, with strained attempts at being unbiased. Participation in shared governance is also discussed, but the point of involving contingent faculty is lost to the reader. Burgan accurately explains the devaluation of intellectual work as the result of increased administrative and special project assignments. We've given this work five stars - unusual for this type of work because of Burgan's attempts at being fair yet candid, except when it comes to the topic of the corporatization of higher education. |
