Book Perceptions of an African American Woman Chief Executive Officer in a Community College Setting

Download or read book Perceptions of an African American Woman Chief Executive Officer in a Community College Setting written by Maurice McKinnon and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges are in a strategic position to meet the growing demands for educating a population that is in a dynamic state of change, a population that is becoming more diverse with each passing year. A diverse population and other critical issues have created a new challenge for community colleges. These challenges require extraordinary educational leaders. Leaders of the 21st century must be change agents with a moral purpose and commitment to educating the citizenry. This exploratory study contributes to our understanding of motivating and constraining factors that influenced a Black woman leader in academia. By examining the historical antecedents of slavery, racism, and sexism through the lenses of the lived experiences of an African American woman chief executive officer in a community college setting, aspiring young Black women will gain insight into factors that may enhance their ability to achieve the CEO status. Black feminist thought and critical social theory offered a framework for interpreting the perceptions of this phenomenal Black woman. The researcher employed the art of listening and the in-depth interview for data collection. These tools allowed the informant to use her own voice to tell her story. Relationships, the value of education, construction of a positive self-identity, leadership, and the ability to adapt to adversity/resiliency were the five major themes that emerged through thoughtful analysis. This woman embodies moral leadership, a leadership model that includes the ethics of caring and personal accountability. The findings illuminate a model of leadership for the 21st century.

Book Productivity in Higher Education

Download or read book Productivity in Higher Education written by Caroline M. Hoxby and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do the benefits of higher education compare with its costs, and how does this comparison vary across individuals and institutions? These questions are fundamental to quantifying the productivity of the education sector. The studies in Productivity in Higher Education use rich and novel administrative data, modern econometric methods, and careful institutional analysis to explore productivity issues. The authors examine the returns to undergraduate education, differences in costs by major, the productivity of for-profit schools, the productivity of various types of faculty and of outcomes, the effects of online education on the higher education market, and the ways in which the productivity of different institutions responds to market forces. The analyses recognize five key challenges to assessing productivity in higher education: the potential for multiple student outcomes in terms of skills, earnings, invention, and employment; the fact that colleges and universities are “multiproduct” firms that conduct varied activities across many domains; the fact that students select which school to attend based in part on their aptitude; the difficulty of attributing outcomes to individual institutions when students attend more than one; and the possibility that some of the benefits of higher education may arise from the system as a whole rather than from a single institution. The findings and the approaches illustrated can facilitate decision-making processes in higher education.

Book The Chief Diversity Officer

Download or read book The Chief Diversity Officer written by Damon A. Williams and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses the role of chief diversity officers as coordinating and integrating diversity leaders in higher education and other sectors.Having established in a companion volume the parameters for an effective diversity strategy, the authors address such questions as: What is a chief diversity officer? How might we create dynamic chief diversity officer infrastructures? What models of CDO structure exist in the academy? What misperceptions often confound the work of officers and the institutions they work within? What key competencies are necessary to lead as a CDO? How does the CDO role compare across higher education, non-profit, and corporate sectors? And how might the role serve as an important contributor to a collaborative vision for change and transformation in the academy?This book begins by delineating the evolution of the chief diversity officer role in the academy. Drawing on extensive qualitative and quantitative research on CDOs conducted for the purposes of this volume, it describes how the scope and responsibilities are variously defined at the organizations where the position has been created, and offers insights into the complexities and challenges of the role.On the basis of this data and the literature on organizational design and change management, the authors define the requisite skills, knowledge and background to be effective, review the alternative organizational and governance structures under which CDOs operate, and in so doing present the Chief Diversity Officer Development Framework as a basis for recruiting candidates, for structuring the position to succeed, and for providing prospective and incumbent CDOs with a realistic sense of the scope of the role.This title is also available in a set with its companion volume, Strategic Diversity Leadership.

Book Minority Community College CEOs Perceptions of Underrepresentation  Preparation and Ascension to the Presidency

Download or read book Minority Community College CEOs Perceptions of Underrepresentation Preparation and Ascension to the Presidency written by CharMaine Y. Hines and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This phenomenological study explored the perceptions of thirty-four CEOs of color of the underrepresentation of minorities serving in presidential roles at community colleges. Research has identified an underrepresentation of race and gender diversity among community college presidents that fails to mirror the racial and ethnic diversity of community college students today. Historically and currently, the majority of presidents in American community colleges have been older white males. An analytical review of the research shows scant progress in diversifying minority-serving community college presidents, creating a need to understand leakage points in the pipeline to the presidency relevant to understanding the underrepresentation of minority community college presidents. This qualitative study used Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Glass Ceiling theoretical frameworks. Thirty-four CEOs of color participated, representing diverse ethnic backgrounds, including African American, Asian Pacific Islander, and Latino/Hispanic, and spanning twelve states and every region of the U.S. In semi-structured interviews, the CEOs described their perceptions of the underrepresentation of minorities among the ranks of community college presidents, their ascension to the presidency, and the leadership preparation necessary for attaining the presidency in community colleges. Multiple steps were used to conduct the data analysis. Counter-narratives were examined using a modified interpretative phenomenological approach (IPA) concept model the researcher expanded creating a nine (9) step system of data collection and analysis for the. Using the Pew Research Center's (2020) classification and name of generations as a guide, the researcher coupled and aligned each participant by both generations of the American community college, development (Deegan and Tillery, 1985; Geller, 2001) with distinct characteristics of generations of community college leadership style (Sullivan, 2001; Boggs and McPhail, 2016) hence updating the generation definitions and naming conventions. An analysis of the study determined the current focus of community college leadership development is more Equity Centered labeling the 4th generational style as Transformers and the 5th generation as Equity Achievers. What emerged were rich counter-stories and voices from Gen X and Gen X II/Millennials I leaders providing a unique perspective from this newest and little-explored generation of leaders. Findings arranged by composite, gender, and ethnicity groups retained participants' authentic voices. An analysis of the data identified significant themes that illustrate leaders' perceptions of challenges, barriers, and biases that contribute to the underrepresentation of minorities serving in presidential roles in community colleges. Themes included structural barriers within institutional culture, biased perceptions of race, and gender and systemic racism. Findings from the study indicate that the leadership development system that served a movement in the second half of the 20th century may be insufficient for addressing ongoing underrepresentation in the 21st century. Findings identified including lack of a clear pathway to the presidency, evidence of a leaky pipeline, a flawed hiring process and gatekeepers along the continuum, opportunity, access, support, mentors, and intentional leadership development. Systemic biases and structural racism, a glass ceiling for men and women of color, and socio-political forms of oppression as microaggressions, tokenism, invisibility, the Imposter Syndrome, and John Henry-ism. This study identified numerous deficiencies that impact the underrepresentation of minorities in the community college presidency offering sixteen (16) recommendations to improve practice. Recommendations included the role of university-based leadership preparation programs, a call to action for regional, state, and national associations and affiliate councils, and examining the role of boards of trustees and governing boards in leading the charge for diverse leadership. This study makes a practical, theoretical, and social contribution to the study of the underrepresentation of race and gender diversity in the community college presidency provides insight into the myriad of factors identified, gives voice to the newest generation of leaders, and discusses implications for future research and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that contribute to the turnover of community college presidents. The quantitative research method approach was utilized. A 40-item survey was sent to 16 community college presidents and leaders (including faculty, classified staff, and trustees) in one Mid-Atlantic state to solicit responses to questions about the participants' perceptions of specific factors regarding turnover of community college presidents. The researcher used descriptive statistics, frequencies, percentage, Pearson r and Chi-Square to analyze the quantitative data. Major findings revealed that there was a statistically significant correlation between the internal college environment, leadership characteristics, and presidential turnover. Data analysis also revealed that location, diversity, institutional culture, the relationship between the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, as well as the relationship between the president and the faculty, were all significant factors that contributed to the turnover of community college presidents.
