Political Expression on Campus

October 16, 2008 by Micheal Hickerson Leave a Comment

Is there an election this year or something? Obviously, politics is on everyone's minds, but I don't want to get into a debate about politics, but rather a debate about, er, politics. Specifically, political expression on campus by faculty. Recently, the University of Illinois issued a memo directing its professors (as employees of the state) not to wear political buttons, put political bumper stickers on their cars, or attend political rallies on campus. The memo has since been modified, but is still an issue of … [Read more...] about Political Expression on Campus

Finding the Fit at a Small College

September 2, 2008 by Micheal Hickerson Leave a Comment

The Chronicle of Higher Education's On Hiring blog posted last week about finding a fit at small colleges. Some faculty relish their work at small liberal arts colleges, while others find the atmosphere burdensome. The post and the comments that follow it offer some excellent advice, both to job seekers and to those seeking to hire at small colleges. At The Well, the excellent website of our fellow InterVarsity ministry Women in the Academy and the Professions, Dorothy Boorse, associate professor of biology at Gordon … [Read more...] about Finding the Fit at a Small College
