Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California currently funds its public colleges on the basis of enrollment, a process that reinforces their commitment to college accessibility and ensures a relatively equitable distribution of per-student spending across institutions. A sluggish economy and state budget pressures, in addition to a national drive for market-driven education reform, has accelerated the discussion about the merits of performance-based funding (PBF), an alternative funding strategy, for public higher education. This qualitative study examined how 26 stakeholders of California Community Colleges, specifically administrators, and full-time faculty in leadership positions located within the San Diego and Imperial Counties, perceive the performance-based funding strategy. The results of the findings indicate that the stakeholders’ perception of PBF have been affected by their experience with two particular quasi-PBF models, California’s Partnership for Excellence and Student Success Initiatives. Their concerns of PBF involved having no control over variables; lowering of academic standards and gaming the system; and limiting access. Research participants provided recommendations to effectively overcome the obstacles encountered and minimize the unintended impacts produced by performance-based funding. This study contributes significantly to the existing literature and to policy since there are few studies done with regard to California Community Colleges and PBF. Findings of the study will assist policymakers in understanding the various ways that performance-based funding is being framed and provide an intelligent basis for discussion and judging conflicting ideas, proposals, and outcomes with regard to accountability in higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the history, present, and future possibilities of higher education governance in California. Although the state has an abundance of productive institutions of higher education, the system is currently overwhelmed because of the continued increase of students - both English and Spanish speaking - coupled with an increasing loss of public funding appropriations. Elementary and secondary schools are also struggling, and any failures at that level create further distress in community colleges because of remediation. Community colleges are the focal point of California higher education, as they serve as feeder systems into the University of California and California State University systems. Under the current stress of reduced funding per student, the system of higher education in California is struggling, and community colleges will soon not be able to sustain academic excellence because of the myriad of issues thrust upon them.

Download or read book Questioning Excellence in Higher Education written by Michele Rostan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excellence in higher education is as old as university, but nowadays the concept is widely emphasized and its meaning has been redefined on the basis of different values and goals, especially those related to market. Excellence has become the meter on which institutions are assessed and public funding allocated, the tool by which worldwide comparisons and rankings of institutions are built, and a marketable brand used by higher education institutions to present themselves. This book offers an international and comparative view on excellence in higher education, ranging from policies to practices, mainly based on research results and empirical evidence, aiming at questioning the concept and its uses which are not only social constructions but also political ones. Far from being a neutral or technical concept, excellence is heavily infused with values which must be traced, analysed and made critical to understand its impacts, backlashes and unintended outcomes on higher education systems, institutions, academics and students. The book is addressed to an international audience and in particular to higher education scholars and professionals. Those who are involved in higher education assessment, members of professional bodies and organizations in the higher education field, students in education, but also policy makers and the public opinion at large will profit from the works of a selected group of scholars coming from a variety of countries. A sense of disquietude seems ever present when discussing new digital practices. The transformations incurred through these can be profound, troublesome in nature and far-reaching. Moral panics remain readily available.
Download or read book Public No More written by Andrew J. Policano and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public No More examines the quickly changing environment within higher education, including the permanent decline in state support for public universities. This book raises the question of how research universities can survive with reduced subsidies and increased competition from both non-profit and growing for-profit institutions. Authors Gary C. Fethke and Andrew J. Policano, both longtime university administrators, offer a strategic framework for determining how tuition and access should be set and how universities should decide on quality and program scope. Throughout the text, real-world examples illustrate successful and unsuccessful adoptions of the authors' proposals. Leadership within public higher education, policymakers, and researchers alike will find Public No More to be a sober and well-grounded guide to what lies ahead for universities across the nation.
