Canadian professors bring attention to divide between administration and faculty members.
Four faculty members proposed taking job sharing to new levels this month when they jointly applied for the position of president–vice chancellor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. Twelve other faculty groups followed suit, and in their applications the groups took a light-hearted jab at the growing economic and social divide between faculty and administration. Kathy Cawsey, associate professor of English at Dalhousie University in Halifax, led the effort. None of the groups has been contacted for a job interview.
