Creating Competitive Academic Leadership by Implementing Alternative Promotion Tracks
Yehudith Weinberger
Higher Education Quarterly, v78 n3 p1067-1080 2024
Staff members in academia are expected to meet a diverse range of simultaneous expectations: responding to students' scholastic needs, pursuing high-quality, ongoing research and being involved in their institutions. Those who successfully bear this multifaceted burden are found worthy of promotion. This 5-year study followed the activity of two parallel staff promotion committees in a large Israeli teachers' college: a "researcher track" and an "'other' track." The findings show two opposing trends, which continued until reaching an equilibrium: a decrease in portfolios presented and an increase of portfolios approved for promotion in the "researcher track", and--in the "'other' track"--an increase in the submitted and a decline in the approved. These tendencies signal a gradual establishment of the new "'other' track's" status and speak to a distinctive added value for high-quality academic innovation in the new era--lecturers' involvement in teamwork and partnership on the campus.
