In the nearly twenty years since the first edition of The Academic's Handbook higher education in the United States has undergone significant change. It has also, however, stayed very much the same, at least in one central aspect: most new Ph.D.’s emerge from the nation’s premier graduate schools with very little specific knowledge about how colleges and universities really operate or about what academic life in such institutions is all about.
This Handbook, therefore, like its predecessors, is addressed directly to the beginning faculty member in an effort to provide immediately useful advice to smooth the transition into this complex, demanding and, possibly, rewarding career.
