Academic administration is a branch of university or college employees responsible for the maintenance and supervision of the institution and separate from the faculty or academics, although some personnel may have joint responsibilities. Some type of separate administrative structure exists at almost all academic institutions, as fewer and fewer schools 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 actively. ==Key responsibilities== Key administrative responsibilities (and thus administrative units) in academic institutions include: * Admissions * Supervision of academic affairs such as hiring, promotion, tenure, and evaluation (with faculty input where appropriate); * Maintenance of official records (typically supervised by a registrar in the US - In the UK not all institutions have a Registrar, who would have varying responsibilities for non academic matters depending on the organisation); * Maintenance and audit of financial flows and records; * Maintenance and construction of campus buildings (the ''physical plant''); * Maintenance of the campus grounds; * Safety and security of people and property on the campus (often organized as an office of public safety or campus police); * Maintenance and construction * Supervision and support of campus computers and network (information technology). * Fundraising from private individuals and foundations ("development" or "advancement") * Research administration (including grants and contract administration, and institutional compliance with federal and state regulations) * Public affairs (including relations with the media, the community, and local, state, and federal governments) * Student services such as disability services, career counselling and library staff. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Academic administration」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
