Stepping Away - Returning to the Faculty After Senior Academic Leadership

Senior leadership transitions in higher education are inevitable. Given their ubiquity, those who work in colleges and universities share the responsibility to make these changing of the guard moments beneficial both for institutions and leaders. Moving beyond the well-worn cliché of "stepping down," Stepping Away identifies policies that institutions, administrators, chairs, and members of governing boards can enact as leaders assume a new place in the social architecture of their campus.
