Many scholars agree that there should exist a three-fold mission of research, teaching, and service for all higher education faculty members (Altbach, Berdahl, & Gumport, 1994; Astin, 1972; Chen, 2002; Clark, 1973; Hawkins, 2001; Henkel, 2000; Kerr, 1995). Together, these three pillars form a unique identity the work expected of most faculty members worldwide.
