Beyond Scholarship: Recognizing the Multiple Roles of the Professoriate.

Boyer’s earlier reconsideration (1990) of the priorities of the professoriate was a landmark effort to revitalize higher education and the faculty role. However, recent research (Braxton, 2001; Franklin & Theall, 2001; Theall & Centra, 2001), as well as the shared experiences of faculty development and evaluation practitioners, and anecdotal evidence suggest that after more than a decade of highprofile discussion, Boyer’s conceptualizations have not had a major, measurable impact on college teaching, faculty development practice, or the assignment of rewards for teaching excellence.
