As universities across Canada increased hiring to replenish their faculty complement, the Federation assembled a Task Force on New Scholars to prepare a best practices manual to address issues associated with hiring and supporting new scholars.
With specific sections for new scholars, their colleagues in the department and administrators, "The Academy as Community: A Manual of Best Practices for Meeting the Needs of New Scholars" presents information on teaching load levels, mentoring, spousal hiring, research start-up funds, sessionals versus tenure track positions, interviews, employment offers and other essential practices. It is a rich resource for graduate students, new scholars and university administrators.
