Eastern Michigan University

 * Contacted for campus visit Dec/Jan (11/19)
 * Great students, lower pay starting, high teaching load 4/4, staff a bit cliqueish, great leadership for now. Not much in terms of research or scholarship, but not much needed for tenure demands. I know someone here, figure I would help out applicants.
 * Thanks for the info. Does your colleague enjoy working there?
 * It is an interesting place. I am an alum and have taught as a lecturer in the past. Students are diverse in multiple ways, which makes for great classes. I think right now it is a changing of the guard between senior and new faculty. Faculty dynamics seem very split and a bit clickish at times. Since I was a student here I have thought that their is a divide between faculty of color and white faculty, but this is not a steadfast rule, mainly my own observation, and I am certain others will have differing opionions. Leadership in the SSW has been a recent issue as our very strong director of over a decade began moving towards retirement and we have gone through some directors in field, MSW, BSW, and in the overall school. It doesn't pay to go the admin route at EMU, not much more pay, tons more workload, and little power. The SSW is not really a school in the sense that it sits inside a College of Health and Human Services and is not the primary player in my mind. Strong in state reputation historically for producing ready to work social workers, more so than Michigan and other institutions; however, the reputation has began going downhill, schools like Western, MSU, UofM, Wayne State, and Grand Valley are considered stronger state schools. Newbies get a ton of commitee responsibility places on them and are expected to volunteer for everything, although this is common at many places. Tenure demands are minimum, seriously coming from a school where many most senior faculty have 50+ pubs, 100s of conference presentations, and books, EMU might have a few strong research/scholars, but most get pubs by making good friends inside with those who do publish. I don't feel as though qualitative research is looked down upon here and I really think you get to determine what scholarship means to you without being heavily influenced by senior faculty or admin, but I will say macro practice is not looked at in the same light as clinical practice. As long as you are clinical you are golden. Hope this helps, trying to be even handed.
 * Thank you--very helpful.
 * Offer accepted! (Jan)
