Kudos to Dr. Neal Hutchens

EPE Professor Neal Hutchens has been awarded a Summer Faculty Research Fellowship by the Office of the Vice President for Research. With support from the fellowship, he will conduct a qualitative study exploring some of the implications of the growing reliance on full-time faculty members employed off the tenure track, a group that accounted for about one fifth of the faculty workforce in 2007. Specifically, the study will focus on the participants' insights and experiences in relation to their participation in institutional governance and issues related to academic freedom.
