Analyzing Faculty Workload

Edición de la obra Analyzing Faculty Workload

The question being asked with increasing regularity is, just what do faculty members do? Studies of faculty workload have been commissioned in state after state. Taken together, the studies indicate that college faculty members are working harder than ever but are probably teaching less and are almost certainly having less contact with students, particularly undergraduates. This volume of New Directions for Institutional Research explores how the public discourse about faculty work might be improved and suggests how colleges and universities might document that work in a fashion that not only more faithfully describes what faculty do but also allows for reports that are more comprehensive and useful.
