Abstract
  • University systems of reward and professional advancement underlie many of the challenges faced by institutions of higher education. These systems present barriers for faculty and professional staff who wish to include public engagement in their practice. Similar barriers exist in other domains such as improving teaching, informing public policy, and developing industry partnerships. This essay synthesizes the status of these systems through review and analysis of existing literature, reports, and a series of focus groups conversations on engagement. We suggest a comprehensive approach that applies two critical actions to guide transformation: 1) coordination across the many domains seeking reform; and 2) learning from study of local processes and lived experiences of change in reward and advancement practices. We conclude such an approach needs a synchronizing organization that can bring together disparate efforts, make meaning of the complexity of this challenge, and chart a path forward.
