Faculty recruitment is a major expense for colleges and
universities, and schools devote a considerable amount of their
resources to the hiring process. But many of these institutions
fail to devote the same attention to retaining college professors.
We've learned through many studies that it's far less expensive to
retain a student you have than to recruit a new one. Why is this
lesson not also applied to the college faculty? This book addresses
why higher education currently has a faculty retention problem and
then explores the strategies needed to address that problem. But
now all faculty members are alike. Minority faculty members have
their own retention challenges, as do highly competitive
researchers, part-time and temporary faculty members who excel at
teaching, and other ley groups. The best ways to retain the junior
faculty are not necessarily the best ways to retain mid-career and
senior faculty. By examining best practices currently in place in
higher education, and then combining those insights with research
conducted in the corporate world, the book encourages colleges and
universities to develop a culture of retention that applies to
students and faculty members alike.
