Title: Hiring The Next Generation Of Faculty
Description: "The first chapters in this volume... presents an overview of the faculty personnel challenges facing community colleges; the next three discuss the socialization and professional development of new faculty. Authors stress the importance of understanding differences among the types of community colleges and the importance of gender and racial/ethnic diversity among the faculty of the institutions who educate the majority of undergraduate females and students of color. The volume concludes with chapters on legal aspects related to the faculty employment and the experiences of presidents and senior instructional administrators, giving valuable guidance to those actively involved in the hiring process. At the heart of this volume is the continued commitment to the community college ideal of providing educational access and, though quality instruction, facilitating student learning and success."--From publisher.
