Why is This Happening?

Why are people teaching outside of their expertise? Why would a smart person say yes to such a thing, and why isn't someone bailing them out?

If you'd like to read some stories about faculty who are facing this growing reality, you can download an excerpt from the book.

1. Go to the book's webpage at Harvard University Press,
   http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/HUSTEA.html
2. Select "Read an excerpt" from the menu on the right.

You'll have quick access to some compelling true stories. People like you. Like your colleague down the hall who keeps her head down and grumbles about the department's coffee. Or the new person who is all smiles (so far) but who is working ridiculously long hours.
