You hear incredible stories from other schools about faculty members who are never in their offices. I was offered a job at a prestigious urban campus where the faculty members are like independent contractors. They come in, do the job, and leave. Most of the time they're off somewhere consulting. At the Kelley School people are here.
Telecommuting is a bunch of crap.
I look forward to coming in every day. We have something valuable and fragile here in the business school. When another university offered me an endowed chair, the highest-paid job in business law in the country, I decided to stay here because of the quality of life and the quality of my colleagues. That year Indiana's music school performed Beethoven's Ninth Symphony with 270 voices. I couldn't buy that in most college towns for a million bucks.
