Academic administration
open-in-new
<p>Academic administration is a branch of <a href="/facts/University/skaJt2Io">university</a> or <a href="/facts/College/PejltRvj">college</a> employees responsible for the maintenance and supervision of the institution and separate from the <a href="/facts/Faculty_(academic_staff)/PbvduYTQ">faculty</a> or <a href="/facts/Academic_staff/PbvduYTQ">academics</a>, although some personnel may have joint responsibilities. Some type of separate administrative structure exists at almost all <a href="/facts/Academic/Q1cenQyr">academic</a> institutions. Fewer institutions are governed by employees who are also involved in academic or scholarly work. Many senior administrators are academics who have advanced degrees and no longer teach or conduct research. </p>
