SUMMARY

Higher education is becoming destabilized in the face of extraordinarily rapid change. The composition of the academy's most valuable asset -- the faculty -- and the essential nature of faculty work are being transformed. Jack H. Schuster and Martin J. Finkelstein describe the transformation of the American faculty in the most extensive and ambitious analysis of the American academic profession undertaken in a generation. This volume depicts the scope and depth of the transformation, combining empirical data drawn from three decades of national higher education surveys. At once startling and disturbing, The American Faculty provides the context for interpreting these developments as part of a larger structural evolution of the U.S. higher education system. "The American Faculty is destined to be a classic... The most thorough and thoughtful analysis of its topic in many years." -- Journal of Education Planning and Administration "A significant resource for data on the American professoriate." -- Academe "This book and its extensive research appendices are a must-read for scholars who study the academic profession... It will be important for provosts, deans, department chairs, and those who have previously been involved in the 'faculty roles and rewards' movement to read this book and interpret its trends and implications for their own campuses and plans for faculty hiring, professional development, and reward systems." -- Review of Higher Education "Practitioners and researchers looking for a comprehensive overview of the faculty life with an emphasis on changes in the last 40 years will be well served by reading The American Faculty." -- Journal of College Student Development "An impressive piece of work... key reading for anyone interested in the state of academic work." -- Studies in Higher Education Jack H. Schuster is a professor of education and public policy at Claremont Graduate University. Martin J. Finkelstein is a professor of higher education at Seton Hall University.Schuster, Jack H. is the author of 'American Faculty The Restructuring of Academic Work And Careers', published 2006 under ISBN 9780801882838 and ISBN 0801882834.
