Opis

This work is a response to the widely held view that faculty professional service is not as well rewarded as teaching and research in academic communities. Complaints about the promotion and tenure system have led many institutions to mend their process, often by expanding the definition of scholarship used in promotion. This book examines organizational change in a number of colleges and universities where promotion policies were expanded to include a broader definition of scholarship. The book focuses specifically on the assessment of service as scholarship for promotion and tenure.
