Why do faculty work so hard? – Inside Higher Ed essay

Posted on March 5, 2014 by stuartelden

As I am writing this article, I should be writing something else: an email to an editor, an email to an author, a letter of recommendation, notes for tomorrow’s classes, comments on students’ papers, comments on manuscripts, an abstract for an upcoming conference, notes for one of the books I’m working on.
