Book excerpt: The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment. For every comfortably tenured professor or well-paid former academic, there are countless underpaid and overworked adjuncts, and many more who simply give up in frustration. Those who do make it share an important asset that separates them from the pack: they have a plan. They understand exactly what they need to do to set themselves up for success. They know what really moves the needle in academic job searches, how to avoid the all-too-common mistakes that sink so many of their peers, and how to decide when to point their Ph.D. toward other, non-academic options. Karen Kelsky has made it her mission to help readers join the select few who get the most out of their Ph.D. As a former tenured professor and department head who oversaw numerous academic job searches, she knows from experience exactly what gets an academic applicant a job. And as the creator of the popular and widely respected advice site The Professor is In, she has helped countless Ph.D.’s turn themselves into stronger applicants and land their dream careers. Now, for the first time ever, Karen has poured all her best advice into a single handy guide that addresses the most important issues facing any Ph.D., including: -When, where, and what to publish -Writing a foolproof grant application -Cultivating references and crafting the perfect CV -Acing the job talk and campus interview -Avoiding the adjunct trap -Making the leap to nonacademic work, when the time is right The Professor Is In addresses all of these issues, and many more.

Book excerpt: The manual is a guide for management representatives engaged in collective bargaining in higher education. It focuses primarily on faculty bargaining, but also addresses the problems of non-faculty units. It is intended for administrators, including governing board members, faced with significant responsibility for bargaining but without prior experience or training in labor relations. The first chapter outlines the university's reaction to the initial union drive to organize faculty or staff. Chapter 2 focuses on the president and board, and deals with key decisions that must be made before beginning negotiations. Beginning with chapter 3, the focus shifts to the president and chief negotiator, and covers the details of the bargaining process, including: gathering data, the first faculty contract, scope of negotiations, managing the management team, managing time and communication in negotiations, dealing with the news media, managing language in negotiations, suggestions for seven standard contract articles, getting negotiations under way, managing trade-offs in negotiation, strike preparations, dealing with third parties, coming to closure in negotiations, ratifying a tentative agreement, and living with the union. Appended materials include suggestions for further reading and a glossary. (MSE)
Download or read book Negotiating Technology in Faculty Collective Bargaining Agreements written by Andrew J. Shella and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzed the ways the implementation of instructional technology proscribes higher-education faculty work as coded in faculty collective bargaining agreements (CBAs). This study replicates and extends the work on the production politics of teaching and technology completed by Rhoades (1998). Collective bargaining agreements were collected from the higher education contract analysis system database, state employee relations websites, and union websites. A close reading and content analysis of the CBAs focused on to what extent instructional technology has deskilled or enskilled faculty work and/or extended managerial control over faculty work. This study found instructional technology provisions in faculty CBAs increased from 37% to 96% over last 20 years. The organizational and social context effected the frequency of negotiating instructional technology provisions. Two new categories emerged regarding faculty evaluation and privacy. Finally, the findings reinforce Rhoades' contention that faculty are being marginalized to the periphery of the higher education organization and the traditional faculty duties are being assumed by contingent faculty and non-faculty professionals.

Download or read book Collective Bargaining in Education written by Jane Hannaway and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely and comprehensive volume will spur and strengthen public debate over the role of teachers unions in education reform for years to come. Collective bargaining shapes the way public schools are organized, financed, staffed, and operated. Understanding collective bargaining in education and its impact on the day-to-day life of schools is critical to designing and implementing reforms that will successfully raise student achievement. But when it comes to public discussion of school reform, teachers unions are the proverbial elephant in the room. Despite the tremendous influence of teachers unions, there has not been a significant research-based book examining the role of collective bargaining in education in more than two decades. As a result, there is little basis for a constructive, empirically grounded dialogue about the role of teachers unions in education today.

This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian universities face a complicated and uncertain future when it comes to funding, governance, and fostering innovation. Their leaders face an equally complicated future, attempting to balance the needs and desires of students, faculty, governments, and the economy. Drawing on more than a decade of service as president of one of Canada’s major research universities, Peter MacKinnon offers an insider’s perspective on the challenges involved in bringing those constituencies together in the pursuit of excellence. Clear, contentious, and uncompromising, University Leadership and Public Policy in the Twenty-First Century offers a unique and timely analysis of the key policy issues affecting Canada’s university sector. Covering topics such as strategic planning, tuition policy, labour relations, and governance, MacKinnon draws on his experience leading the University of Saskatchewan to argue that Canadian universities must embrace competitiveness and change if they are to succeed in the global race for talent.
