The case studies offer insight into frameworks and models established by various institutions, which will supercharge the mission to create a well-organized faculty affairs unit that covers functions across the faculty life cycle. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Faculty Affairs as a discipline. Johnson George, PhD, MBA, PMP, Assistant Dean of Administration and Faculty Affairs. A Practitioner’s Guide to the Business of Faculty Affairs is the new “go-to- book” that every higher education leader who has a role in supporting faculty recruitment, retention, and success should read and utilize in their daily practice. The “business as usual” approach to faculty affairs is no longer viable in today’s environment and the innovative, in-depth strategies outlined in this book provide a roadmap for how to center holistic support for faculty at all levels to advance their success and the success of students.
