Abstract
How do colleges and universities deal with the increasing student demand for more computer information systems education, while qualified faculty (in short supply anyway) continue to leave for industry's greener pastures? The paper presents the author's personal perspective on recently adjusting to a faculty role after more than twenty years in industrial and research environments. Many issues are dealt with, including: economics, institutional support, qualifications, lifestyle, work-load, and keeping up with technology. Alternative solutions to the manpower problem of computing education are presented and examples are given of some university-industry technology transfer programs. Specific examples of local academic support from the Boston Chapter of the Society for Information Management will also be noted.
