Faculty Priorities Reconsidered traces the history of the movement to redefine scholarship. It examines the impact of the 1990 landmark report Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The book assesses the widespread initiative to realign the priorities of the American professoriate with the essential missions of the nation’s colleges and universities: to redefine faculty roles and restructure reward systems.
