Abstract

The enrollment and funding for higher education institutions has been on a gradual decline. As a means to tackle budgeting issues, Universities across the country have taken a myriad of approaches, which has resulted in less support and higher faculty workloads, fostering an environment that is susceptible to faculty burnout. Along these lines, the aim of this paper is to review interdisciplinary strategies that can implemented in apparel programs to increase the productivity of faculty without creating faculty burnout.

Keywords: higher education, faculty burnout, reducing faculty workload
