Rotating-term Associate Deans: Pathway to Higher Education Administration
By Eugenia P. Gerdes, Ph. D., Christopher J. Zappe, Ph. D.

The use of rotating-term associate deans is proposed as a means of counteracting a predicted shortage of academic administrators. Based on over 20 years of experience with these positions, the authors identify numerous advantages for associate deans, the deans to whom the associate deans report, and their institutions. Although rotating positions have potential pitfalls, these can be addressed by careful recruiting and with the other precautionary measures discussed.
