Thriving in Academe
What is the current role of faculty and staff in the quality movement on
our nation's campuses? More importantly, what should it be? These are the questions that
will be debated at the 1998 NEA Higher Education Conference, March 6-8,
1998, Hyatt Regency Hotel, Savannah, Georgia.It is time to reexamine the
faculty and staff role as higher education moves to virtual education.
Legislators, trustees, and administrators have their definitions of quality.
Faculty and staff
must establish, through collective action, an equal role in decision making.
Moving to the cutting-edge of quality means taking a hard look at academic and
union traditions and crafting a new order in the academy and the profession.
