The Role of Followers in Higher Education During a Pandemic

Abstract

The campus community was notified that classes were cancelled leading up to spring break due to COVID-19. Aggressive preparations for remote teaching began taking shape for the time when classes would resume. This chapter delves into leader/follower dynamics among faculty-student and student-student relationships. Examples describing how faculty accomplished the task of addressing some of these issues from a leader/follower relationship perspective will be an additional focus in this chapter.
