UMass Amherst – A lackluster university that lacks visionary or organized leadership. The students are generally great, but the administration kills the potential the institution has to be the best public university in the country. PAY OUR STAFF. Keep our faculty.

Was hat Ihnen am Interviewprozess am besten gefallen?
The search committee and that I had a friend working in my department
Was braucht das Führungsteam, um besser zu werden?
Executing initiative. Listening to faculty and students' needs. Paying the staff a living wage so that students and faculty can focus on the intellectual work. Learning from other universities how the work is done.
Was läuft falsch und wie kann es verbessert werden?
The University lives in a bubble. It does not consider the neighboring towns and cities as part of its community. ENGAGE, RECRUIT IN POOR AND RURAL PLACES. Give the community credit for their contributions.
Warum fühlen Sie sich unterbewertet und was würde Sie bei Ihrer Vergütung besser fühlen lassen?
I have received outside offers from other universities and my School refuses to even match their salary. We have lost at least 11 faculty in the last four years in my School alone. If you value your faculty RETAIN them.
