The Senior Faculty: Higher Education's Plentiful Yet Largely Untapped Resource.

Finkelstein, Martin J.; Jemmott, Nina Dorset

New Directions for Teaching and Learning, n55 p95-98 Fall 1993

At a time when resources for higher education are scarce and overtaxed, senior faculty members constitute a valuable resource. Interaction with like-minded peers, periodic changes in the nature of the work or the work setting, and administrative and organizational intervention are important strategies for helping senior faculty members stay interested and productive.
