About this product
Product Information
American colleges and universities are poised at the edge of a remarkable transformation. But while rapid technological changes and increasingly intense competition for funding are widely recognized as signs of a new era, there has also been an unprecedented though silent demographic change in the profile of the faculty. In The New Academic Generation, higher education researchers Martin Finkelstein, Robert Seal, and Jack Schuster focus on the changing face of academe, as women, foreign-born, and minority scholars enter the professoriate in larger numbers and as alternatives to full-time tenure-eligible appointments take hold. Looking at who will teach at American colleges and universities in the future and examining their roles and responsibilities, the authors argue that the new generation will usher in an era of dramatic change with profound long-term implications. Finkelstein, Seal, and Schuster base their analysis on the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty conducted by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics. The largest national survey of faculty in a quarter-century, it provides detailed analyses permitting the authors to describe the characteristics of the relatively new entrants into academic careers, and to compare them with their more senior colleagues. The authors present their analysis in 88 tables, describe their findings, examine future issues for teaching-learning communities, and provide strategies for strengthening the faculty--and thereby higher education itself. The challenges posed by this new academic generation, they conclude, will be one of the defining issues for American colleges and universities for years to come. ''This book is an important contribution to understanding the transformations that are reshaping the academic work force. I particularly commend the authors on the effort to put their findings in the context of earlier work and to highlight some of the significant trends that are different from most expectations and conventional wisdom.''-David W. Leslie, College of William and Mary ''Demographic analysis by itself cannot tell us how important changes may be or what responses to them are appropriate. Fortunately, the authors of this study go well beyond simply reporting data. They discern important patterns and highlight significant trends that should be kept in mind as policies for the future of postsecondary education are debated.''-Robert J. Menges, Northwestern University

I just watched this film today and it play perfectly without any skipping. The case was also in very good shape. I actually think this should have been listed as very good condition instead of just good.
