[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know anything about Amherst, but at a lot of schools there has been a tilt toward teaching (non tenure track) faculty members. The tenure track faculty have the same pedigrees and publication expectations as before (often higher tenure standards, in fact) but they are a smaller portion of the faculty as a whole.[/quote] These are tenure track faculty being discussed with really low publication records[/quote] Having publications doesn't make one a better instructor. Do you want good teachers or just impressive research? It's hard to do both. [/quote] The top LACs have always had both. So have the top universities. You shouldn't be a bad researcher as a Professor, unless you're at a community college. Amherst is a research-teaching expected load. You will get a 2/2 and be expected to release books, have a publication record, and work with students. [/quote]
