As the usage of social media among faculty increases, it has become pressing for institutions to find ways to monitor and support this activity. In some cases, academic administrators have responded by reprimanding faculty members through suspension and forced leaves of absence. This chapter focuses on the role social media play in the careers of faculty, the function a mature workforce (senior faculty and administrators) has in adequately supporting junior faculty's use of social media, and on how institutions equip mature senior faculty and administrators (MSFAs) with the necessary skills to manage junior faculty's use of social media for the purpose of balancing a mature workforce in academia.
