Sharing Inside Information

The way in which the college administrators deal with the faculty members is discussed. The administrators should handle the problems related to their faculty members openly because openness inspires trust. Openness in job searches protects against discrimination, broadens the base for decision making, and gives job candidates a better view of the institution. The administrators should also adopt a habit of announcing a plan before it is a done deal because it gives concerned parties a chance to comment, shape, and track a process that can significantly affect their academic lives.
