Describes an innovative approach to building and utilizing
industry-university partnerships which we titled "consulternships".
Consulternships reflect a blend of professional consulting engagements,
student internships and faculty externships. These consulternships typically
last longer than a single academic term, they are financially supported by a
firm or organization, and they reflect intensive project management
involvement by the firm's staff, a student team and university faculty
members. This article describes the need for consulternships, their
advantages and disadvantages and how to establish them. It also describes a
specific case study at the University of Colorado at Denver as a model for
such consulternships.

Students are asked to evaluate faculty on a continual basis at most
universities throughout the world, yet students have varying perceptions
about the purpose and usefulness of these evaluations. While research has
focused on the faculty issues regarding evaluations and their use in
subsequent evaluation, yearly reviews, tenure decisions, and even
post-tenure review, little research has been conducted to evaluate student
feelings on the evaluations. In a case study format, a random sample of
College of Business Administration students from freshman to EMBA levels was
polled about their perceptions of the student ratings of faculty. The
results provide interesting insights into their perceptions as well as
constructive ideas on how better to administer the evaluations and publish
the results. Results can benefit not only business schools but also other
colleges in improving the evaluation process and linking the results to
other rewards and faculty improvement mechanisms.
