In recent years, the federal government and private industry have entrusted universities to manage a considerable portion of their research portfolio. Many, but certainly not all, university research administrators come from the faculty ranks, and many have little or no formal training in this role. More often than not, they learn the profession "on the job." Some facets of research administration simply require either "common sense" or personal experience as a research-active faculty member. However, there are many other aspects that benefit from formal training. These include the historical and legal background behind many institutional and federal policies and regulations. Managing the Research University aims to fill that void by providing a comprehensive background and discussion of the issues and challenges of managing a university's research enterprise. It provides a thorough background to research administration, covering all of the main issues confronting academic research administrators.
Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, prophesied for four decades under the last five kings of Judah—from 627 to 587 B.C. His mission: a call to repentance. Among the apostolic fathers, Jeremiah was rarely cited, but several later authors give prominent attention to him, including Origen, Theodoret of Cyr, and Jerome, who wrote individual commentaries on Jeremiah, and Cyril of Alexandria and Ephrem the Syrian, who compiled catenae. Justin and Irenaeus made use of Jeremiah to define Christians over against Jews. Athanasius made use of him in trinitarian debates. Cyril of Jerusalem, Irenaeus, Basil the Great, and Clement of Alexandria all drew on Jeremiah for ethical exhortation. Lamentations, as might be expected, quickly became associated with losses and death, notably in Gregory of Nyssa's Funeral Oration on Meletius. By extension the fathers saw Lamentations as a description of the challenges that face Christians in a fallen world. In this Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture volume, readers will find some ancient authors translated into English here for the first time. Throughout they will gain insight and encouragement in the life of faith as seen through ancient pastoral eyes.

Within the complex environment of higher education, administrators and faculty members face daunting challenges in their unique domains of institutional governance. Many of the greatest challenges arise from basic misunderstandings of authority and its limitations by administrators and faculty members alike. These misunderstandings are the primary source of disruptive confusion, mistrust, and mismanagement. Consequently, an institution’s governance would improve significantly if its personnel clearly understand the fundamental principles of authority. To bring about this improvement, Understanding Authority in Higher Education clarifies issues of authority in an academic setting. Throughout, it introduces basic concepts of higher-education administration and then examines the limits of authority in context. Pedagogically, the book strives continuously to ascertain whether authority is used properly from a legal perspective, emphasizing the influence of academic cultural norms on legal principles and vice versa. But, Understanding Authority in Higher Education goes further than law textbooks by using real and anecdotal case studies to examine aspects of authority that don’t appear in court proceedings — those that lie beyond the reach of the law. In these cases, the book explores the anthropology — the behavior and the culture — of authority in the academic environment.

The Man I Didn't Know narrates my discovery of a father unknown to me. To be sure, I thought that I knew my father. Although my parents were divorced and I lived with my mother, I spent all day Saturdays with him for 11 formative years, from ages 8 to 18. And I continued to communicate with him by weekly letters and occasional visits for another ten years until his death. He was a good father: attentive and loving. But, then, 32 years after his death, I discovered his diary and myriad short stories that he had written. As I began to read the volumes in this trove, I quickly came to a startling revelation: the author of the diary and the stories was unrecognizable: a stranger, a father I didn't know. This stranger was beset by the insidious demons of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), demons that were foreign to the father I knew, respected, loved. Distraught, I was compelled to read further, hoping to resolve this disconnect between the fathers I knew and didn't know.This became a study of a man's recovery from acute mental illness. The study derives from personal memories of my father and two interlacing narratives: my father's diary and his short stories written under a pseudonym, Ellis Worth. Over time-12.6 years to be exact-they follow the contours of my father's mind. They tell about his nervous breakdown, his hospitalization, his bouts of insulin- and electro-shock therapy. They tell about his conscious thoughts as he interacts with psychiatrists, colleagues, family, and lover. And they tell about his dreams: unconscious nighttime dreams and conscious daytime dreams, dreams of becoming a successful writer, dreams of marrying the woman he loves. narration tells of his gradual recovery from this insidious illness to become the father I knew, respected, and loved.
In this entertaining autobiography, Smith chronicles memories encountered during "the traveling." He did the traveling during the night when he slept or during the day when he napped, venturing out and back. Along the way he encountered memories of particular events or thoughts. The memories don't comprise an entire lifetime of experiences and thoughts. The traveling was more selective. And, Smith has no understanding about how it selected which memories to visit and which to ignore. Moreover, he paid little heed to those memories ignored during the traveling. They were there somewhere in his past and could be retrieved, to be sure. But, he saw no reason to recreate a lifetime. One passage is enough.In some encounters during the traveling, a companion made its presence known. Call the companion fate. This companion intervened in Smith's life, directing it one way rather than another. The most consequential intervention occurred when Smith was admitted to Harvard. Fate had inducted him into an elite class, a very privileged class. This privilege manifested itself in many ways during his lifetime, most of them favorable. Over the years, Smith asked himself: Why did I receive this honor? Did I deserve it? Or did fate simply play a cruel trick on the many other qualified but unsuccessful Harvard aspirants? While recounting memories from the traveling, he seeks answers to these questions.
"One of the Holy Trinity Suffered for us." This formula, proposed by the Scythian monks, became the test of orthodox Christology in the sixth century and stands as a testimony that in Christ there is no barrier between his divinity and our humanity. This formula is a truly fitting title for this festschrift honoring the faithful service of Dr. William Weinrich. This book is composed of theological essays that celebrate three areas where William Weinrich has made significant contributions. The first part is entitled Evangelion and consists in essays honoring Weinrich's exegetical work with Johannine texts. The second part, Theologia, is composed of essays honoring Weinrich's theological work in Patristics and the History of the early church. The final part, Ecclesia, consists in practical essays that recognize Weinrich's selfless service training pastors and leading the church.
These poems were inspired by various visits to the Art Institute of Chicago in preparation for one of the Poetry Foundation's Pop Up Poetry events, a series of 30-minute lunchtime poetry readings marking the reopening of the museum's new Contemporary Collection.As defined by the Foundation, "An ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art. Through the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the 'action' of a painting or sculpture, the poet may amplify and expand its meaning."
