ABSTRACT
Since the 1980s, the rise of careerism and the entrepreneurial culture in the academy has led to noticeable differences in the culture among young faculty. Those who get tenure-track jobs at all see themselves fairly as survivors. Moreover, their one job may be their only shot at a career. If they lose it, they’re on their way to law school, the unemployment line, or-worst of all-the tattered adjunct army. Moreover, the academy seems to a cold-blooded analysis to reward individual achievement and nothing else. Every concession to community identity comes with a cost.
