    Five Tips for Making Tenure 

    Stephen D. Senturia, PhD, 7 years ago 0 5 min read  
    While the words “tenure track” make it sound like there’s a smooth set of rails that will take you from hiring through to a position on the permanent tenured faculty, “tenure obstacle course” might in fact be a better description.

    Surviving a Leadership Transition 

    Jeffrey L. Buller, PhD, 7 years ago 0 6 min read  
    Leadership changes in the upper administration can be stressful for chairs and deans. We’ve all seen situations in which a new chancellor or president arrives, and between six months and a year later, there’s an entirely new team of vice presidents. Sometimes entire divisions are reorganized. Offices are moved from...

    The Department Chair: A Retrospective Perspective 

    Robert E. Cipriano, EdD, 8 years ago 0 5 min read  
    The department chair is a linchpin of a university. It has been estimated that 80 percent of the decisions made in higher education are made at the department level. The chair is a classic hybrid-in-the-middle position; not really an administrator but “more than” a faculty member. The roles and responsibilities...

    Creating Space, Relieving Stress, and Making the Job More Enticing 

    N. Douglas Lees, PhD, 8 years ago 0 5 min read  
    One downside of the chair position, aside from the heavy workload, is that it leaves little time to do the work that they originally joined the academy to do—research and individual scholarship. Yet, at the same time, a strong majority of those contributing to these surveys indicate that they are...

    Succession Planning for Academic Leaders 

    Jeffrey L. Buller, PhD, 8 years ago 0 5 min read  
    Every academic leader should have a succession plan. A good leadership succession plan provides a way for the college or university to reconsider how it performs core functions and maintains suitable progress while taking the steps necessary to secure its long-term future.

    When Academic Leadership Comes with Baggage 

    Jeffrey L. Buller, PhD, 8 years ago 0 5 min read  
    The baggage we bring to work with us can take a variety of forms. It could occur because we applied for our positions as internal candidates and suddenly find ourselves as bosses of the very people who only a short time ago we regarded as close friends. It could occur...

    Six Ways to Ensure a Smooth Chair Transition 

    Rob Kelly, 8 years ago 0 6 min read  
    Faculty members often become chairs under less-than-ideal circumstances or for the wrong reasons. An underprepared faculty member or one with an axe to grind can wreak havoc and lead to frequent department chair turnover. Recognizing this all-too-common cycle, Gian Pagnucci, chair of the English Department at Indiana University of Pennsylvania,...

    The ‘Quiet’ Dean: Rethinking the ‘Extrovert Ideal’ of Leadership 

    Thomas McDaniel, PhD, 8 years ago 0 8 min read  
    Memo to academic leaders: I am sitting quietly in my dean’s office, a serene place I first occupied in 1986, reflecting on a book by Susan Cain, one that I think you all should read, titled Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. I would...
