Starting with the question "How have professors and educational
institutions responded to pressures to be professional yet act
bureaucratically," Philo Hutcheson uses federal and AAUP records
and surveys and blends historical research and sociological
analysis to develop a full understanding of the problem. With the
dramatic expansion of the professoriate following World War II came
increasing tensions between the professor's perceived traditional
status as an autonomous professional on the one hand and new role
as a bureaucrat subject to institutional authority and responsible
for departmental and committee assignments on the other. In this
increasingly conflicted realm, the AAUP functioned as a key
intermediary, dealing with such issues as tenure, salary,
contracts, and even faculty strikes.
Hutcheson examines how tensions between the requirements of
institutional bureaucracies and the norms of the academic
profession resulted in contentiousness and conflict within the
national AAUP, between administrators and faculty members on
individual campuses, within the ranks of faculties themselves, and
even deep in the consciences of many concerned individuals. The
book analyzes the association's ability to respond effectively and
to balance the values of collegial representation with the powers
of collective bargaining. It thus offers a detailed and
authoritative examination of the AAUP's search for ways to sustain
professionalism while dealing with the fundamental changes in the
nature of the professoriate in the post-World War II era.
