Description

Research, teaching, service, and public outreach -- all are aspects of being a tenured professor. But this list of responsibilities is missing a central component: actual scholarly learning -- disciplinary knowledge that faculty teach, explore in research, and share with the academic community. How do professors pursue such learning when they must give their attention as well to administrative and other obligations?
