In an era when artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the structures and expectations of higher education, The Academic Profession and Professorial Appointments in the Age of AI in Higher Education examines how digital technologies are transforming what it means to build and sustain an academic career. This book examines the shifting academic roles, evolving models of professorial appointments, and the increasing impact of AI-driven tools on research evaluation, teaching, governance, and institutional decision-making. By analyzing global policy trends, digital scholarship practices, and emerging algorithmic systems, it highlights both the opportunities, such as enhanced transparency, innovation, and new career pathways, and the risks, including threats to equity, professional autonomy, and academic freedom. Drawing on diverse international perspectives, the book offer a critical and timely reflection on how the professoriate is adapting to a digitally mediated academic landscape.
The primary objective of this book is to provide higher education professionals with a cohesive, research-informed, and actionable framework to effectively reduce student dropout rates by integrating enrollment and retention processes into a single, continuous strategy. While existing research often treats recruitment and persistence as distinct challenges, this book aims to bridge that divide by demonstrating the power of a holistic, institution-wide approach that connects early engagement, academic readiness, and sustained student support.
