An academic is someone whose career is in academia, which Wikipedia describes as "a collective term for the scientific and cultural community engaged in higher education and research, taken as a whole". This type is used to show information about such people that does not typically apply to everyone who has received a college education.

Academic advisors: this property primarily refers to advisors of doctoral candidates, although there may be other, similar types of advisors that could use this property

Academic advisees: this should contain the names of people that an academic (usually a professor) has been an advisor to

Appointments, fellowships, etc. this property should be used for information about any sort academic appointment, such as being a visiting scholar, having a fellowship, having a placement under a research grant, etc., that does not fall under the "employment history" property (which is on the "person" type). For example, a professor's job at a university would usually be entered under "employment history"; however, if that professor receives a grant to do research at another institute for a semester, that posting should be entered under "appointments, fellowships, etc."
