Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate about how higher education is failing to play a role in reducing inequality often centers on elite colleges, while ignoring the numerous public colleges and universities that educate the majority of our students. This book adds to the discussion by exploring an in-depth case study of the largest public higher educational system in the United States, The California State University, with implications for other state systems as well. Benjamin P. Bowser, experienced faculty member and author, discusses higher education reforms in response to increasing tuition, underprepared graduates, and declining academic standards. Focusing on the faculty perspective, this text examines how these reforms can threaten the mission of a public institution, only exacerbating the crisis of higher education and inequality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neoliberalism’s War on Higher Education reveals how neoliberal policies, practices, and modes of material and symbolic violence have radically reshaped the mission and practice of higher education, short-changing a generation of young people. Giroux exposes the corporate forces at play and charts a clear-minded and inspired course of action out of the shadows of market-driven education policy. Championing the youth around the globe who have dared to resist the bartering of their future, he calls upon public intellectuals—as well as all people concer ned about the future of democracy—to speak out and defend the university as a site of critical learning and democratic promise.

This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Convergence of K–12 and Higher Education, two leading scholars of education policy bring together a distinguished and varied array of contributors to systematically examine the growing convergence between the K–12 and higher education sectors in the United States. Though the two sectors have traditionally been treated as distinct and separate, the editors show that the past decade has seen an increasing emphasis on the alignment between the two. At the same time, the national focus on outcomes and accountability, originating in the K–12 sector, is exerting growing pressure on higher education, while trends toward privatization and diversification—long characteristic of the postsecondary sector—are influencing public schools. This volume makes the powerful case that it is no longer possible to think of one sector in the absence of the other, given the economic, demographic, and technological forces that are pushing the educational system toward convergence. Taken together, the chapters in this book provide a promising new line of inquiry for examining contemporary questions in education policy.

Book excerpt: The dynamics of higher education funding present unique challenges and opportunities for administrators. One method university administrators employ to contain expenses and provide additional revenue is privatization of academic and non-academic services. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the specific factors considered in a decision to privatize bookstore and/or dining service operations, and perceptions about whether the post-privatization decision met pre-privatization expectations. Gordon's (2019) Privatization Decision Framework was created based upon existing research and then used to develop survey questions. Twelve pre-privatization decision factors, nine post-privatization contracted relationship expectation factors, overall satisfaction with the privatization decision, and a privatization decision reflection were utilized to answer the research questions. An online survey instrument collected data from 140 auxiliary services professionals at public, four-year universities across the United States, representing 45.0% of such institutions who are members of the National Association of College and Auxiliary Services; responses were proportional to the regional membership of this organization. Full-time equivalents (FTEs) ranged from 500 to 110,000 students with a mean of 19,642 students. Overall, over half of the university respondents 79 (56.4%) are contracting their bookstore operations, and satisfaction with the bookstore contractor's performance generally met expectations with a mean of 3.87 (out of a five point scale with five being greatly exceeded expectations). The top areas of satisfaction included: transfer of inventory costs carried by the contractor, management specialization/expertise, and transfer of risk externally. Most respondents (85.5%) also indicated satisfaction by noting a strong preference to contract with the same bookstore contractor if the decision could be made again. One half of university respondents indicated that their dining services operations are under contracted management. Overall satisfaction with the dining services contractor's performance generally met expectations with a mean of 3.54 (on a five point scale). The highest areas of satisfaction were: management specialization/expertise, transfer of risk externally, and external capital. Most respondents (73.0%) indicated overall satisfaction with a strong preference to contract with the same dining services contractor if the decision could be made again. In addition to overall satisfaction, respondents were asked to indicate the level to which their contractor met their pre-privatization goals related to nine expectation factors, and all factors for both bookstore and dining services contracts were rated as at least generally meeting expectations. Six of the nine post-privatization expectation factors had a significant difference between the bookstore and dining services operations in the factors of: external capital for renovation or facilities construction, inventory costs carried by the contractor, customer service/quality improvements, external legal pressure, human resources/staffing issues, and management specialization/expertise; for all such factors, the bookstore contractor yielded higher levels of satisfaction. Respondents were asked to indicate the extent 12 factors influenced their decision to privatize bookstore and dining operations. Two decision factors within both the bookstore and dining services operations were found to have a statistically significant relationship which impacted the university's decision to privatize: external capital for renovation or facilities construction, and human resources/staffing issues. This study provides new information to university leaders who are contemplating a privatization decision through the examination of pre-privatization factors, post-privatization satisfaction, and the decision respondents would make regarding their current contracted services, given the current knowledge of the contractor's performance.
