Charting Pathways of Intellectual Leadership: An Initiative for Transformative Personal and Institutional Change.

LEADERSHIP; HIGHER education; THEORY of knowledge; COLLEGE teachers; MICHIGAN State University

Across higher education there is a misalignment between the policies and practices of evaluation and the core values for which universities profess to stand. Values of inclusion, transdisciplinarity, and publicly engaged scholarship are routinely undervalued in university practices of evaluation. Shifting attention toward high-impact ends of sharing knowledge, expanding opportunity, and mentorship and stewardship empower all members of the academic community, from faculty to staff, to create meaningful careers that contribute to the mission of the university. Implementing the Charting Pathways of Intellectual Leadership initiative in the College of Arts & Letters at Michigan State University has required reckoning with practices of exclusion and the privileging of tenure-system faculty.
