SXSW EDU 2019
Amplifying Faculty Value in Higher Education
Description:
Despite faculty's central importance in higher ed, many faculty feel undervalued and disengaged. Instead of being rewarded for teaching and research, faculty must often focus on a narrow indicator of value - “publish or perish”. Similarly, institutional policies can undermine faculty autonomy and productivity. How can institutions re-engage faculty and unlock their potential? Learn how faculty-centric technology and policies can help faculty thrive and generate student and institutional success.
