Download or read book The Community College Board 2 0 written by Daniel J. Phelan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the reader with a fresh and comprehensive approach to both considering and implementing an uncommon governance practice that emphasizes a lasting, effective, and a sustaining relationship between the board and president. This discussion encapsulates pre-hiring practices, and principles regarding CEO selection, onboarding, various board membership constructions (both appointed and elected), and new dimensions of board governance that emphasize competition, agility, transparency, effectiveness, and new business models. The discussion also includes elements of policy and by-law design, intentional governance design and development, committee structures and use, parliamentary procedures, meeting construction and effectiveness, CEO contracts and evaluation, board self-evaluation, generative thinking and planning, transparency and addressing board and organizational challenges. Given that transitioning to a new, enhanced or blended governance model can be difficult, the book will offer suggestions and guidance about how to move toward a more preferred, effective model. This component will include tools, such as a strategy canvas, and other processes to assist boards in addressing questions along the way, such as how and where to begin, how to evaluate the efficacy of the current model and how to structure the transition process and the timing thereof.

This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shared Governance in Higher Education Set (Volumes 1, 2 and 3) Building on the resources offered in the first volume of this series, this second volume offers governance members, leaders, and other academics valuable insights into the governance process in higher education. In a chapter drawn from his keynote address at the March 2015 SUNY Voices conference, Steven Bahls, president of Augustana College, provides a critical study of institutions of higher education. Nine additional chapters offer a thorough analysis of academic processes that are usually hidden from view, including development of a sexual assault policy, faculty review of administrators, and successful use of task forces. Contributors describe subtle considerations and compromises, which effective governance leaders can incorporate into collaborations leading to effective outcomes. Readers of this volume will better understand how to avoid pitfalls of their own, as contributors illustrate hard-earned wisdom and lessons learned. Practical insights and guidelines on leadership development, budget development involving governance leaders, and mentoring are provided. This volume will provide readers— faculty, staff, students, and administrators—with the pragmatic resources they need to recognize and resolve governance challenges on their own campuses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community college governance is a process for distributing authority, influence, and resources among internal and external constituencies. Having evolved from traditional public school bureaucratic and political models that emphasize control and oversight, community college governance is now a dynamic process with a host of participants. Gone are the days when presidents and trustees acted unilaterally on college issues. Although boards retain the legal authority to govern their colleges, prudent trustees now encourage broad-based involvement in governance. Nationwide, the trend is toward more participation and shared responsibility, and some states are codifying the process. For example, the California legistlature has mandated a shared governance system in public community colleges, reflecting the movement toward involvement and transparency. College leaders resist or ignore that trend to the detriment of their colleges and at their own peril. Interest in community college governance will increase among scholars and practitioners for many reasons. Enrollments are increasing rapidly while funding is not keeping pace. Taxpayer resistance is a reality. Workforce training programs will compete with transfer curricula for resources. Increasing numbers of poorly prepared students will require remediation. For-profit institutions will compete for students. Employee unions will press for better salaries and benefits and meaning participation in governance. Special interest groups will continue electing advocates to governing boards. P-19 initiatives will require close collaboration with public schools. In the meantime, rogue trustees will try the patience of everyone. Traditional governance models will not suffice in this demanding arena. Governance structures that are more collegial, flexible, and inclusive will be essential in the future as community colleges evolve to meet the needs of an increasingly complex and diverse society. Chapters include Community College Governance: What Matters and Why? Governance over the Years: A Trustee's Perspective Governance in a Union Environment Internal Governance in the Community College: Models and Quilts The Effect of the Community College Workforce Development Mission on Governance Closing the Gaps in Texas: The Critical Role of Community Colleges Yanks, Canucks, and Aussies: Governance as Liberation Governance in Strategic Context Key Resources on Community College Governance This is the 141th volume of the Jossey-Bass higher education quarterly report series New Directions for Community Colleges, an essential guide for presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, this quarterly provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the challenges facing contemporary community colleges, governing boards are in need of information and data gathered from empirically grounded studies of current governing practices. The primary purpose of this study was to describe governance practices of community college boards of trustees in one state in the Northeast region of the United States. A secondary intent of the study was to examine the relationship between institutional structure of community colleges and trustees' perspectives on select governance practices of community college trustees. The study utilized and was informed by secondary analysis of data secured from a cross-sectional population of community college chairs. The research design was a secondary analysis of survey data from McPhail's (2006--07) national study of community college governance trends and practices. Governance practices and the relationship between governance practices and institutional structure were described using descriptive statistics. The research variables for the study were institutional structure and the following governance practices: (a) board executive committee, (b) risk management policies and practices, (c) board and trustee evaluation, (d) practices of the new work of nonprofit boards, (e) ethical standards, and (f) board education. The population consisted of 14 community college board chairs. Finding from this study revealed that the majority of boards engage in practices or activities related to Taylor, Chait, and Holland's The New Work of the Nonprofit Board. Findings from this research support the need for more information and data about community college governance board practices the relationship between institutional structure and governance practices. The data suggests that there may be a relationship between board practices and institutional structure. The study adds to empirical research on board practices. Few studies have taken an empirical approach to the study of governance practices and even fewer, if any, have examined the relationship between practices and institutional characteristics. This study provides varied recommendations related to community college governance for future research and practice. -- Abstract.

Book excerpt: Shared Governance in Higher Education Set (Volumes 1, 2 and 3) For those seeking a way to change opinions of shared governance from pointless and unlikely to possible and intriguing, Shared Governance in Higher Education, Volume 1 will trigger meaningful conversations by offering valuable new perspectives. Experienced governance members, the contributors provide practical insights for everyone involved in academic governance and illuminate the subtle aspects of governance that make the difference between success or failure. Each chapter takes a different view of governing within institutions of higher education and explores topics such as engaging all stakeholders (including students) in shared governance; building on the benefits of a large, complex system; and bringing together pressing current needs with realistic strategic planning. Several in-depth descriptions of academic challenges, and the many roles of governance in addressing them, are thoughtfully explored. The contributors look both deeply and broadly, moving beyond platitudes. The result is a volume that will appeal to those beginning their terms of service as governance members or transitioning into leadership positions, as well as those looking for ways to assist others via governance symposia or conferences, and that will enable readers to shape their involvement in shared governance in unique new ways.
