This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student retention, engagement, and success are some of the biggest challenges that administrators and university leaders face in higher education settings. As financial support and steep competition pose an issue to student acquisition and participation, especially within Historically Black Colleges and Universities, it becomes pertinent that these academic organizations implement new leadership practices to assist in the overall success of the student, as well as the institution. Administrative Challenges and Organizational Leadership in Historically Black Colleges and Universities examines how administrations in Historically Black Educational Institutions utilize different leadership techniques to overcome challenges of student retention and engagement. Focusing on student development practices, organizational collaboration, funding for institutions, and support provided from faculty and staff within Historically Black Colleges and Universities, this book is an essential reference for university administrators, educators, researchers, and graduate-level students in the fields of education and sociology.

Download or read book Exploration of Faculty and Administrators Perception of Enrollment Management Components at a Historically Black College and University written by Kimberly Taylor-Benns and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enrollment management structures, models, and activities have been embraced by many colleges and universities as an institutional practice. Some institutions, however, experience challenges to implementation because of a lack of human and financial resources, campus understanding and awareness. For minority serving institutions, particularly a number of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), this is the case. Shifts in student populations, policy, internal and external challenges exist. These challenges are evident at the HBCU (called Truth University in this document) where the current study was conducted. First, leadership at the HBCU questioned whether the financial investment was worth onboarding enrollment management. Second, there has been unstable leadership which impeded the critical decision making process necessary to support enrollment management. Finally, there was a question of whether enrollment management practices were an affordable and feasible option at Truth University with low enrollment numbers and constant staff turnover. This study examined faculty and administrators' perceptions of enrollment management practices at this Historically Black College and University on the East Coast. Purposeful sampling of a cross section of 124 faculty and administrators employed at the institution with direct and indirect influence on enrollment management was used. Data were collected on the various enrollment components including: marketing, recruitment, academic advising, career services, academic support, institutional research, orientation, and financial aid, retention, and student services. Survey questions sought responses to the existence, effectiveness and the importance of 54 individual enrollment management components at the institution. Additional data were collected on two additional questions regarding the perceived existing enrollment management structure at the institution and the perceived enrollment management structure most important to effective enrollment management implementation at the institution. With only a few exceptions, faculty and administrators exhibited an overall lack of awareness of enrollment management practices at Truth University. To the extent that they are aware of what practices exist at Truth, they generally feel that the activities are not effective. However, the respondents acknowledge the importance of enrollment components. Interestingly, there were few differences between the faculty and the administrators in these perceptions. The implications of these results for Truth University were discussed in light of these findings.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trust in the workplace has been linked to higher levels of organizational performance and competitiveness. The imperative of variants of trust among a spectrum of institutional types, including colleges and universities, has been deemed to be considered essential for organizational effectiveness, stability and continuity. One variant, organizational trust, may be a particularly important factor during periods of exigency where exogenous forces may function to punctuate organizational equilibrium. This study focuses on organizational trust and associated variables (empowerment, resistance to change, support for innovation, interpersonal conflict, and demographics) as perceived by faculty in the work environment of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). HBCUs and their faculties have received minor attention in terms of research related to the focal variables in this study. The study depended on an existing database that included perceived responses of faculty at HBCUs to structured items included in survey measures. Selected variables included in the study model were considered. Some 3,070 faculty members working in 73 HBCUs throughout the United States provided the data included in this study. Secondary analyses revealed that higher levels of empowerment, higher levels of support for innovation, and lower levels of interpersonal conflict were associated with higher levels of organizational trust. The relationship between perceptions of empowerment and organizational trust, moreover, was influenced significantly by levels of resistance to change and support for innovation. Implementable strategies associated with study findings were commended for initiatives designed to strengthen organizational trust in the HBCU context.

This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Black women faculty members and student affairs personnel, this book delineates the needed skills and the range of possible pathways for attaining administrative positions in higher education.This book uses a survey that identifies the skills and knowledge that Black women administrators report as most critical at different stages of their careers as a foundation for the personal narratives of individual administrators’ career progressions. The contributors address barriers, strategies, and considerations such as the comparative merits of starting a career at an HBCU or PWI, or at a public or private institution.Their stories shine light on how to develop the most effective leadership style, how to communicate, and the importance of leading with credibility. They dwell on the necessity of listening to one’s inner voice in guiding decisions, of maintaining integrity and having a clear sense of values, and of developing a realistic sense of personal limitations and abilities. They illustrate how to combine institutional and personal priorities with service to the community; share how the authors carved out their distinct and purposeful career paths; and demonstrate the importance of the mentoring they received and provided along the way. A theoretical chapter provides a frame for reflecting on the paths traveled. These accounts and reflections provide enlightenment, inspiration, and nuggets of wisdom for all Black women who want to advance their careers in higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Black colleges and universities wish to survive in the competitive and economically stressed education environment of the 21st century, they would do well to respond to some of the pressures for reform that the general school structures are undergoing, in particular population diversification. Sims provides a model for diversification that presents four major steps in orderly progression: the removal of barriers for admission of nonblack students; the development of special programs of interest to the general student population; and the diversification of faculty and administration. Ways of restructuring historically Black colleges and universities to be more supportive of diverse student populations are also developed in this work.
