The Academic Accounting Profession and the Pathways Commission: Lessons from the Replacement Referee Debacle

Thu, March 14, 1:30 to 3:00pm, Meeting Hotel, TBA

Abstract

In this paper we respond to Pathways Commission's recommendation that we integrate more practitioners into the accounting faculty. We use the NFL's replacement referee debacle as an analog and draw from this six lessons for the academy. We suggest that the notion of increasing practitioner representation on accounting faculties may not solve the problems we face and may result in unintended consequences. We then propose an alternate analog, that of the football coach, and draw some helpful lessons for a different approach to the problem.
