Book excerpt: The focus of this study is a search for the voice of African American community college trustees as they work to impact the changes community colleges must make over the next quarter century. It examined the lived experiences and perceptions that selected African American community college trustees have of their roles as trustees and the impact they think they are having on the setting of priorities in the governance of their respective colleges. This topic is significant since, arguably, community colleges are the quintessential democratic institutions in society; their doors are open to everyone. In various ways, community colleges are dynamically responding to the demographic changes that are occurring in American society. Among those changes are an increasing number of African American students entering college, especially community colleges, and an increasing number of African Americans becoming community college trustees. This study found that the elected African American community college trustees who participated in this study are fully integrated into the governance processes of their colleges, but do not think of themselves a being assimilated into the culture of their boards. They believe that they bring a double consciousness to their roles as trustees and that it allows them to perceive governance issues from the perspectives of insiders who are comfortable with the status quo and from the perspective of outsiders who have been traditionally removed from the locus of institutional power. Participants see themselves as representatives of the interests of their colleges as well as representatives of the interests of groups and individuals who have little or no voice in the affairs of their colleges. Participants are long-time community leaders whose influence extends beyond their colleges into their communities; they see themselves as servant leaders dedicated to working for change in society.

Book excerpt: Findings indicated that social capital was indeed a strong influence on the experience of the female community college trustees in this study. The women in this study had earned a successful reputation which allowed them access to networks and resources that promoted their name recognition and allowed them to be elected to the office of community college trustee multiple times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qualitative case study research was conducted to examine and describe the public engagement practices of community college trustees. This case study examines and describes the public engagement practices of public community college trustees. The research focuses on community college trustees' public engagement perceptions within five categories: (a) roles and responsibilities, (b) definition of public engagement, (c) public engagement practices, (d) barriers to public engagement, and (e) how to make public engagement more effective. The three key conclusions of this study are (a) trustees do not identify deliberative public engagement as a role priority or a default priority; (b) the role of trustees must be reframed and redefined to include democratic public engagement practices; and (c) the public's role in democratic governance must be reclaimed. The results of study also emerged within five major thematic areas, which have implications for theory and practice--(a) trustee roles, (b) trustee relationships with the public, (c) administrative and organizational structures, (d) leadership, and (e) policy. Some of the more specific findings from the study within these areas include: (1) Trustees identified serving and representing the community's interests as their role; this role has been performed with minimal meaningful contact with the community; (2) Trustees had no common nomenclature for the public, constituents, stakeholders, community, public engagement or public participation; (3) Trustee governance has not focused on public engagement in its relationship with the public; (4) Trustees' engagement practices are influenced by a priori assumptions about the public and public participation; and (5) Trustees have no public engagement policy or framework linked to establishing policy or decision making. Nine appendixes are included: (1) Project Summary; (2) Research Consent Form; (3) Letter for NIFI [National Issues Forums Institute] Network Community College Trustees; (4) Letter for NIFI Network Community college Public Policy Institute Director; (5) Debriefing Letter; (6) Cast Study Standardized Open-ended Interview Questions; (7) Case Data Collection Display; (8) Case Study Institutional Profiles; and (9) Institutional Review Board Approval.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public community colleges are experiencing unprecedented public scrutiny and expected to be more accountable for the decisions and policies of its leaders. To ensure public accountability of community colleges, the board of trustees has been given the responsibility of representing the community's interests and responding to the educational needs of the community. Serving as stewards of the public trust and a conduit for critical and meaningful connection to and with the college's community are a trustee's time-honored role. Trustees embody this connection when they first interact with the community and then act on behalf of the community they represent. This case study examines and describes the public engagement practices of public community college trustees. There were two central research questions that guided this study: (1) What is the process by which community college trustees engage with the public? (2) What factors contribute to trustee public engagement practices? Trustees' public engagement perceptions were pursued through inquiry within five categories: (a) role and responsibilities, (b) definition of public engagement, (c) public engagement practices, (d) barriers to public engagement, and (e) how to make public engagement more effective. Five major themes emerged: (a) trustee role, (b) relationship with the public, (c) administrative and organizational structures, (d) leadership, and (e) policy from the findings, which have implications for theory and practice. (1) Trustees identified serving and representing the community's interests as their role; this role has been performed with minimal meaningful contact with the community. (2) Trustees had no common nomenclature for the public, constituents, stakeholders, community, public engagement or public participation. (3) Trustee governance has not focused on public engagement in its relationship with the public. (4) Trustees' engagement practices are influenced by a priori assumptions about the public and public participation. (5) Trustees have no public engagement policy or framework linked to establishing policy or decision making. A key finding of this study is that trustees do not identify deliberative public engagement as a role priority or a default priority. The role of trustees must be reframed and redefined to include democratic public engagement practices; and the public's role in democratic governance must be reclaimed. -- Abstract.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the role perceptions of trustees in the locally controlled Oregon community college system and the state controlled Washington community college system. Authorities in the literature were consulted to define the "ideal trustee role" and the study determined which governance system was most effective in fostering this "ideal trustee role" as measured by trustee role perceptions. The relationship between the personal characteristics of trustees and trustee role perceptions were also studied. This part of the study showed which trustees in each system perceived their role as being closest to the "ideal trustee role." A questionnaire was developed and disseminated to all 105 Oregon and all 115 Washington community college trustees. This questionnaire was a series of thirty-six trustee responsibility statements that related to the "ideal trustee role." Trustees were asked to respond to these statements on a Likert scale. Personal demographics were also gathered on all respondents. The components of the "ideal trustee role" were defined as: (1) Assure that the college fulfills the purpose for which it was established and evaluate college outcomes. (2) Select, evaluate, counsel with, and, if necessary, terminate the chief executive officer. (3) Interpret community interests to the college and college interests to the community. (4) Oversee the acquisition, expenditure and investment of funds and management of college facilities. Washington trustees perceived themselves closer to components 1, 2 and 3 of the "ideal trustee role" than Oregon trustees and Oregon trustees perceived themselves closer to role component 4. However, the similarities in the role perception responses of the two populations were more noticeable than the differences. In general, trustees who fell into the following demographic categories perceived themselves closer to the "ideal trustee role" than trustees who fell into other demographic categories. These groups included trustees who were female, trustees that held, at least, a bachelor's degree, trustees with annual incomes above $50,000, trustees who were members of a community service organization, trustees with more than four years service on the board, trustees that held managerial/professional jobs, and trustees who were Democratic or Independent politically.
