COACHE primarily distributes the Tenure-Track Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey, which aims to provide participating institutions with data that they can translate into policy change in less than a year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><em><a title=\"New challenges\" href=\"http:\/\/isites.harvard.edu\/icb\/icb.do?keyword=coache\" target=\"_blank\">New Challenges, New Priorities: The Experience of Generation X Faculty<\/a><\/em><\/strong> draws from a combination of extensive survey data and 16 qualitative interviews with administrators and faculty at three institutions: a large public research university, a small private liberal arts college and a private master&#8217;s institution. All but one of the interviewees is considered a member of &#8216;Generation X,&#8217; defined as people born between 1964 and 1980. They came from a variety of disciplines, including business, chemistry, English, law, medicine, theater, education and engineering. The goal of the study is to determine how Gen X faculty approach their jobs, long-term careers and work-life balance. Furthermore, the study&#8217;s authors hoped to see if and how the reports of generational clashes in the broader workforce play out in the academic environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New study explores life and career attitudes of young professors &#8212; from education-portal.com A recent study conducted by Harvard examines how &#8216;Gen X&#8217; faculty approach their scholarly careers and work-life balance.
