Beautiful space. Hard working people.

Employees are valued only superficially in staff meetings etc. On the ground it is a regular occurrence in several departments to be yelled at or belittled once a week.

Good for high performance academics who prefer innovation-action to faculty governance

Department head

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to make things happen and accomplish goals at rapid pace and without intense bueracracy. If you are interested in growth and continuous improvement, it's an amazing place to be. Incredible community support from business and local leaders. Culture is more private-corporate with high expectations for inventive, energetic leadership.

Cons

Culture is more private-corporate, so faculty can feel as though they have little voice or control over their futures. There is often anxiety over student-parent interactions and intense burnout from heavy demands on personal time--mostly in recruiting efforts. Can be difficult for families. While requirement to publish is low-this can disadvantage an academic who invests so much in students there is little time or energy left for scholarship. If you are not a workaholic, HPU, or ACADEMIA may not be a good fit for you.
