Pros

innovation is appreciated. Environment is unmatched! Bureaucracy doesn't slow you down. Great opportunities to contribute no matter what dept. you are in.

Cons

Not for me, but seems the thread of cons here deals with expectations. I like a challenge and appreciate the fact that HPU expects contribituions at all levels.

This campus does not recognize the real world...

Pros

Good pay, no pressure to publish, beautiful campus, fabulous classroom facilities, gated campus with good security, university is expanding rapidly--lots of growth

Cons

Students are bratty and spoiled, essentially the only criteria for admissions is "do you have a bank account?", if you don't give out lots of high grades (regardless of what the students truly earn) they will rip you to shreds on the class evaluations--this is what the university uses as its main guide as to keep or fire professors. Students can lie on these evaluations and chancellor does not care. So glad I found a position at another university!!
