In this hinge moment in higher education, we have the opportunity to powerfully shape the future of our vocation. Sure, we could choose to ignore all that we’ve learned in the past year and return to “business as usual.” Or we could take all of those key traits that sustained us and our students through this crisis — flexibility, empathy, innovation, experimentation — and apply them to our badly outdated process of faculty evaluation. We can try to return to the pre-pandemic status quo, or we can decide to do better. Let’s choose wisely.
