Higher education institutions don’t always make the most rational decisions from a business perspective. And that’s okay. It’s something I’ve come to terms with over my 15 years working with non-profit colleges and universities. During that time, I’ve learned to appreciate that schools are, first and foremost, mission-driven. What’s best for the school, as an institution serving a meaningful mission, doesn’t always align with what’s best for the bottom line.

Promotion for academics, especially those on teaching and scholarship (T&S) pathways, is fraught with challenges. Unlike research output, which can be easily measured through journal rankings, citations, and research income, the impact of teaching and scholarship is harder to quantify, making progression criteria poorly defined across the higher education sector.
