Recommendations from the Professional Development Committee of AAACE. They include sabbatical leaves, exchange appointments, short-term media experience (unpaid leave from college position). "Members of the association were emphatic in their statement that editors should be given the same privileges of sabbatical leave as other college workers and that they should develop their jobs and positions so that they would have a rank equivalent to that of any professorship on the campus."
"Have I forgotten the toils of the farm and home laborer? Am I unable to appreciate the folks back home; unable to place myself in their surroundings, and unable to feel and to breathe wholesomeness of rural life? If this is true, then 'back ye editor' to where you will once again become steeped in the spirit of rural America."
