How to Adjust to the Current Staffing Landscape |
|
At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, norms surrounding the delivery of academic instruction were upended — and, more broadly, what it meant to work in higher education. Even as many campuses have returned to in-person instruction, the future of work in higher ed remains uncertain. Employers are still searching for the right mix of remote, hybrid, and in-person responsibilities. In Solving Higher Ed's Staffing Crisis, The Chronicle spoke with more than 30 senior administrators, human-resources leaders, hiring managers, employment experts, staff members, and scholars. All of them agreed: Academe should not — and cannot — return to the way things were. So where does it go from here? This in-depth report examines the urgent challenges for higher education in managing its work force, and points the way toward possible solutions. |
