A NEW ACADEMIC COMPACT
Revisioning the Relationship Between Faculty and Their Institutions
Linda McMillin and Jerry Berberet, Editors
Foreword by R. Eugene Rice

Highlighting the Associated New American College's Faculty Work Project, this new book examines the call for redefining faculty roles and institutional relationships. Believing that in order to serve students successfully colleges must invest in faculty effectiveness, the overriding goal of the project has been to lay the conceptual groundwork for bringing the institution's faculty policies and practices and the actual work patterns of faculty into optimal alignment with the institutional mission.
