In the waning years of the 20th century, something profoundly disturbing is happening to higher education in America: certain points of view are now declared off-limits and those who violate the new speech and conduct codes are being stripped of their civil liberties. Occasionally a particularly egregious case may make its way into the news, but the true extent of this devastating onslaught has never been fully documented -- until now.Alan Charles Kors and Harvey A. Silverglate, staunch civil libertarians and defenders of free inquiry on campus, bring to light the dangerous activities of college administrators who employ speech codes to intimidate students and faculty who do not abide by the orthodoxies of the day. The Shadow University shows how these new rules and sensitivity training favor group rights over individual rights and how universities use their own tribunals to convict and sentence offenders outside the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States. The Bill of Rights is routinely ignored in these hearings -- a state of affairs that will shock those of us who consider the rule of law to be a bulwark of American libe

This volume comprises chapters by humanist and interdisciplinary arts and sciences faculty who became academic deans, with reflections on how they used their position to further the liberal arts, fulfill special projects, and play a leadership role in shared governance on their campuses. These chapters shed light on how these colleagues were motivated to join the administration in public and private, large and small institutions, how their career pathways led them there, what their jobs entailed, what was some of the satisfaction they derived from their work, and, in some cases, how they felt about the experience. So You Want to be a Dean? provides a critical update to the experience of academic leadership at American colleges and universities during the pandemic because of the focus on leading a liberal arts faculty through Covid-19. The core focus of the volume is on the experience of leadership through personal reflections provided by academic leaders, the spark that motivates them to serve their colleagues and their university in their capacity as deans. This volume will greatly benefit mid-career academics in all fields working at American liberal arts colleges and universities who are curious about possible pathways into administration for faculty and the rewards that such career choices may hold.
An Educational Journey to Deanship: A Memoir explores and highlights achievements and stories of success throughout the author's academic and administrative experiences. Specifically, this book includes photographs and personal narratives from early educational experiences to deanship. The information presented in this memoir will serve to provide role modeling, lessons of success, mentorship, and hope for other persons who aspire to become an academic dean.
Despite deans playing critical roles in education, little is known about the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed for the job, or the practical dilemmas they face on an almost daily basis. Each chapter of this international collection opens the role up for examination and critique, developing a deeper understanding of what it means to be a dean, and offering insights into the transition into the role, managing the daily demands and expectations of it, and what it means to exit the deanship. The book brings being a dean and the leadership inherent in the position into sharp focus based on international perspectives on doing the job.
