What Professors Are Thinking - Colleen Flaherty, Inside Higher Ed

Faculty members may not be flocking to all-online class formats, but they’re using technology and other pedagogies to make their classrooms more student-centered. Faculty members are divided, however, along racial, ethnic and gender lines about the state of diversity and climate at their institutions. And while non-tenure-track faculty members seem to be getting some advance notice for courses, they’re still denied basic resources with which to do their jobs. Those are some of the major findings of a new report from the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles. The institute’s Undergraduate Teaching Faculty survey is published every few years. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/11/13/national-survey-suggests-greater-focus-teaching-ongoing-concerns-about-diversity
