This book was released on 1998 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an exploration of how higher education in contemporary Britain has responded to questions of equal opportunuties (particularly questions of race), what types of responses have been made, and how effective they have been.

Foregrounding research dilemmas, the author draws upon four university case studies, using both equal opportunities documents and interviews with key personnel. She focuses on the institutional discourses which surround equal opportunities in the universities and is concerned not only with their treatment of the issues, but also with the positions taken up by academic trade unions.

Download or read book Higher Education Management written by Warner, David and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 1996-08-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many higher education institutions are like small towns, meeting the needs of their members by providing not only specialist teaching and research activities but also residential accommodation, catering, telecommunications, counselling, sports facilities and so on. The management of these institutions is very complex, requiring both generalist and specialist knowledge and skills; and the move to formal strategic planning means that it is no longer acceptable for higher education managers to be aware only of their own relatively narrow areas of expertise. All new managers would benefit from an holistic perspective on managing a whole institution. As such individuals are promoted, such 'helicopter vision' becomes a precondition of their and their institution's success. Higher Education Management provides: * the first comprehensive account of non-academic higher education management. * contributions from distinguished practitioners of university management. * a key resource for all aspiring, trainee and practising managers in higher education.
