 A Meta-Profession
If you listen to the pundits and politicians criticizing higher education, you would think that instructors on our nation’s campuses do hardly any work and that the little they do accomplish is irrelevant. To change this perception, this issue’s Thriving in Academe authors argue, the faculty needs to do a better job demonstrating that our profession is highly specialized, requiring multiple sets of high-level skills.
