Book excerpt: Higher education is being asked to address issues of quality, accountability, and transparency. Accreditation is one tool higher education institutions use to address these concerns. The purpose of this quantitative study was to analyze the impact of the new accreditation standards adopted by the Northwest Commission for Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) as they related to Washington State community colleges. This study was based on the perceptions of Washington State community college administrators regarding NWCCU's new regional accreditation standards incorporating a continuous quality improvement model. Cross-sectional survey research was used to gather data from Washington State community colleges reaccredited under the new NWCCU standards. An electronic link to the questionnaire was emailed to 271 community college administrators at 10 Washington State community colleges. The questionnaire, adapted from an instrument used by Hollingsworth (2010), was aligned with seven research questions. The adapted instrument used a Likert-scale design consisting of 23 questions, six open-ended questions, and four demographic questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, pre-data analysis screening and an individual analysis of each research question. Inferential statistics used in this research were a one-sample t test, the Spearman rho correlation, and a one-way ANOVA analysis. This research demonstrates the positive perceptions of Washington State community college administrators about NWCCU's new regional accreditation standards. The majority of administrators agreed that the new standards and the new process help institutions achieve institutional quality improvement, enhance institutional communications, and increase faculty and staff awareness of the institution's mission and core theme objectives. Administrators agreed that their institutions continued to seek information campus-wide for improvement even though the reaccreditation process was complete. School size, number of years being involved in higher education accreditation or job title did not significantly impact administrator perceptions regarding accreditation. This study contributes to on-going national dialogue about the value of regional accreditation. The new accreditation standards adopted by the Northwest Commission for Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) are perceived by administrators participating in the accreditation process in Washington State as a method to demonstrate quality, accountability, and transparency.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of ethical standards by institutions of higher education has been in part a response to real and perceived unethical behaviors on the part of faculty members. Though institutional codes of ethics are not required by North Carolina Community College System colleges, eleven of the 58 colleges have adopted and published codes. This qualitative study examines how those codes are perceived by the Chief Academic Officers (CAO) and fulltime faculty members. The study collected responses through face-to-face interviews with three CAOs and 17 faculty members. The interview questions focused on awareness, understanding, and internalization of the published code of ethics. The structured questions were designed by the author and were based on literature and relevant studies. The creation or adoption of the code of ethics at their respective colleges was in response to internal issues or external pressures. The CAOs in this study had a key role in developing and implementing the code at their respective colleges, but they had not fully maximized employment and integration of the code into the college culture. The findings indicated that faculty and CAOs vary in perceptions of purpose and utility of the code. The findings also reveal that among the faculty participants in this study, there may be a superficial awareness of the code. Health Science faculty member were found to have a strong association with the codes of their professional organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, community colleges have served societal and functional missions that expanded over time, with the result of trying to achieve multiple goals for multiple audiences. This volume explores the forces currently shaping community college missions and the resulting tension between stated goals, assumed goals, and achievement of those goals. In an era of increasing accountability, tighter coupling, and the need to do ever more with fewer resources, mission focus is vital to college survival. Explore such issues as: the unspoken social contract, transfer, developmental education, noncredit education, dual enrollment, workforce development, the free college movement, and planning for the future. The topics are explored thoughtfully from both scholarly and practical perspectives, highlighting the forces that shape community college missions. This is the 180th volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. Essential to the professional libraries of presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.
