This paper addresses faculty recruitment for online programs. Related issues are faculty perceptions, program processes, and administrative supports. At traditional academic institutions, it is a challenge for program administrators to recruit admirable faculty members to teach in the online programs. The complaints and concerns expressed by the detractors need to be addressed in order to create a positive environment for the online programs. The paper proposes a model for faculty recruitment, taking into consideration areas of concern and contention, and suggests strategies to appropriately meet the challenges.
