Learning the Rules of the Game: Race, Gender, and Academic Success
Schmidt, Susannah A., Harris, Brandy D. 2003.
View Abstract
Conference paper. ?Our study examines the strategies & practices that assist junior faculty in the promotion & tenure process. Specifically, we address faculty members' views regarding what it takes to succeed in academia, & whether these views vary by rank, gender, & race. Our data come from 40 in-depth interviews with assistant, associate, & full professors all of whom work in universities in the Southeast. Our findings address the dilemmas of mentoring, how race & gender affect relations between junior & senior faculty, particularly effective strategies &/or policies for helping junior faculty succeed, & the meaning of being a faculty member to junior & senior faculty. Our conclusions point to actions a university/college can take to help junior faculty 'succeed' at achieving tenure & promotion at their institutions.?--Sociological Abstracts abstract

Academic Freedom and Tenure: Between Fiction and Reality
Tierney, William G.
Journal of Higher Education
, 161-177, 2004-03-01.
View Abstract
What do academic novels tell us about academic freedom and tenure? What messages do these novels convey to the broad public? This article attempts to answer these questions by analyzing academic novels that have been written over the last century, paying particular attention to novels written in the last twenty-five years in order to assess current portrayals of academic life. It begins with a brief discussion about how the author defines and studies the academic novel and then analyzes how academic freedom and tenure have been portrayed.--from ERIC abstract
