Download or read book Managing Institutional Self Study written by Watson, David and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the use of evidence in the leadership and management of universities and colleges. The role of institutional self-study in establishing strategy and measuring progress is examined across the full range of institutional activities, with many worked examples. Practical guidance is also set in the context of theory about organisational learning within complex enterprises at the start of the 21st century, as well as an account of the state of the art within higher education in the UK, with some international comparisons. Because of the nature of the business – knowledge production and use –universities should be better at organisational learning than they are. This book shows how disciplined self-study can assist decision-making, general effectiveness and reputational positioning for universities and colleges. The book explores why self-study matters, the key processes and techniques, as well as what can be delivered. In addition to the internal drivers to enhance self-study capacity and practice, institutions are increasingly required to produce explicit and transparent accounts of their activities and performance to external bodies, to support marketing, to respond to multiple stakeholders and to meet external reporting and regulatory requirements. At the heart of the book is the case for the development of the university or college as a mature, self-reflective community, making full use of its analytical and other resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did public higher education become an industry? This unprecedented account reveals how campus leaders and faculty preserved the vitality and core values of public higher education despite changing resources and expectations. American public higher education is in crisis. After decades of public scrutiny over affordability, access, and quality, indictments of the institution as a whole abound. Campus leaders and faculty report a loss of public respect resulting from their alleged unresponsiveness to demands for change. But is this loss of confidence warranted? And how did we get to this point? In Academic Fault Lines, Patricia J. Gumport offers a compelling account of the profound shift in societal expectations for what public colleges and universities should be and do. She attributes these new attitudes to the ascendance of "industry logic"—the notion that higher education must prioritize serving the economy. Arguing that industry logic has had far-reaching effects, Gumport shows how this business-oriented mandate has prompted colleges to restructure for efficiency gains, adopt more corporate forms, develop deeper ties with industry, and mold academic programs in the interest of enhancing students' future employment prospects. She also explains how industry logic gained traction and momentum, altering what constitutes legitimacy for public higher education. Yet Gumport's narrative is by no means defeatist. Drawing on case studies of nine public colleges and universities, as well as more than 200 stakeholder interviews, Gumport's nuanced account conveys the successful efforts of leaders and educators to preserve and even strengthen fundamental public values such as educational access, knowledge advancement regardless of currency, and civic responsibility. Ultimately, Academic Fault Lines demonstrates how intrepid faculty and administrators engaged their communities both on and off campus, collaborating and inventing win-win scenarios to further public higher education's expanding legacy of service to all citizens while preserving its centrality to society and the world.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents enrollment data for four-year and two-year postsecondary institutions that were eligible for Title IV federal financial aid in 1996. Data were obtained from the 1996 fall enrollment survey. Survey findings are presented in five major sections: (1) characteristics of enrolled students; (2) types of institutions attended; (3) attendance status; (4) changes in enrollment, 1992-96; and (5) enrollment by state. Section 1 includes data for all postsecondary institutions, while Sections 2 through 5 focus on degree-granting institutions. A highlights section identifies key findings such as the following: in 1996, 14.8 million students were enrolled in the nation's 6,404 Title IV-eligible postsecondary institutions; black students comprised 11 percent of undergraduates at degree-granting institutions, but only 7.2 percent of graduate students; among all students, 77.4 percent attended public degree-granting institutions; overall, 59.2 percent of undergraduate students and 42.3 percent of graduate students attended school full-time; and between 1995 and 1996 there was a decline in enrollment at public four-year institutions and an increase in enrollment at public two-year institutions. Detailed statistical tables for degree-granting institutions are presented in the first four appendices. The fifth appendix provides technical notes on study methodology. (DB)
