Texas Tech Provost Wants For-Profit Faculty Rosters
September 13, 2010
By: Inside Higher Ed
Inside Higher Ed - Bob Smith, provost of Texas Tech University, heard his counterpart
at the University of Phoenix say this summer that many Phoenix faculty members are
faculty members at leading public universities. So, as The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal
reported, Smith asked Phoenix and other for-profits for faculty rosters. At Texas
Tech, faculty members teaching part-time elsewhere would need his office's permission
-- and he has never received such a request. So he wants to check whether any of his
faculty are teaching in the for-profit sector, without permission. So far, he hasn't
received any for-profit rosters.
