The increasingly complex environment in which colleges and universities now operate has spawned a set of requirements for accountability with which institutions and therefore faculty must comply. Although academic freedom and tenure provide important protections for faculty, they are not unlimited. At the same time, institutions face a myriad of new pressures and responsibilities, such as the need to account for monies from a variety of sources, and to deal with appropriate levels of outside faculty consulting and faculty internal workloads. There are pressures to review faculty performance in teaching, research, and service. In response primarily to external constituencies, colleges and universities are being compelled to confront areas of traditional faculty autonomy. Joint faculty/administrative groups should resolve such issues and institutional priorities for academic programming, workload and productivity expectations, faculty research contracts, sexual harassment, allegations of fraud in research, research products with patent potential, faculty evaluation measures, and professional ethics.
