Politics in higher education - Administrative Roger Williams University Employee Review

Pros

Satisfying and rewarding working with current students and alumni of this university.

Cons

Being in middle management is a nightmare of office politics. Safer to be in one of the 5 unions at this university. Saw many (good) people get fired, escorted out with no notice, and generally treated badly. The perils of working in an "at will" state perhaps, but definitely a peril of working at RWU! :(

Pros

It is a lovely campus and there are a select group of people here who have a heart for the success of students and RWU.

Cons

Unfortunately a lot of politics, lack of growth opportunity, inconsistent messaging, and lack of clear organizational structure. Unfortunately there is a great volume of people who are trying to push personal career goals over the benefit, health, and growth of the Institution and students.
