| Abstract: | If universities are to support faculty contributions across the full range of the mission of higher education (teaching, research, and service), several changes must occur. Teaching must become a community activity discussed openly and widely: presidents and provosts must hold departments as a whole responsible and accountable for contributions to mission: and learned societies must participate in supporting teaching and, when appropriate, reflective practice in addition to research and scholarship. These points are brought out in the articles contained in this issue and warrant further attention. |
