Aligning Faculty Rewards with Institutional Mission: Statements, Policies, and Guidelines (JB - Anker) - Hardcover

Based on the author's extensive work with academic institutions and organizations, Aligning Faculty Rewards with Institutional Mission provides guidelines for developing a coherent faculty rewards system, starting with the articulation of institutional priorities and following the process through the development of department guidelines and union contracts.

Consulting this book gives readers both a broad picture of the process and specific examples of resulting products—the tools needed to approach the task at their own institutions.
