The Essential Department Chair

The new edition incorporates many timely topics, such as department ethics and politics, accounting for sponsored research, and addressing staff conflicts, and is now truly more than a guide—it’s a much-needed desk reference, a book that includes “everything you need to know to be a department chair.” The book contains a wealth of new case studies and shows new department chairs how the guidelines would perform in a real-life situation.
