Download or read book Improving Quality in American Higher Education written by Richard Arum and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ambitious, comprehensive reimagining of 21st century higher education Improving Quality in American Higher Education outlines the fundamental concepts and competencies society demands from today's college graduates, and provides a vision of the future for students, faculty, and administrators. Based on a national, multidisciplinary effort to define and measure learning outcomes—the Measuring College Learning project—this book identifies 'essential concepts and competencies' for six disciplines. These essential concepts and competencies represent efforts towards articulating a consensus among faculty in biology, business, communication, economics, history, and sociology—disciplines that account for nearly 40 percent of undergraduate majors in the United States. Contributions from thought leaders in higher education, including Ira Katznelson, George Kuh, and Carol Geary Schneider, offer expert perspectives and persuasive arguments for the need for greater clarity, intentionality, and quality in U.S. higher education. College faculty are our best resource for improving the quality of undergraduate education. This book offers a path forward based on faculty perspectives nationwide: Clarify program structure and aims Articulate high-quality learning goals Rigorously measure student progress Prioritize higher order competencies and disciplinarily grounded conceptual understandings A culmination of over two years of efforts by faculty and association leaders from six disciplines, this book distills the national conversation into a delineated set of fundamental ideas and practices, and advocates for the development and use of rigorous assessment tools that are valued by faculty, students, and society. Improving Quality in American Higher Education brings faculty voices to the fore of the conversation and offers an insightful look at the state of higher education, and a realistic strategy for better serving our students.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its April 25, 2008 meeting, the Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board approved the funding models for the two-year colleges, universities, and the technical centers (former technical institutes merged with universities). These models had been developed in conjunction with presidents and chancellors after meetings and revisions. The funding models were used to develop the comparative needs of Arkansas institutions of higher education in terms of the average funding levels of schools in the SREB (Southern Regional Education Board) region. The legislative session in 2010 will be the first "fiscal" session of the legislature in which they will consider primarily appropriations. As a result of annual legislative session, there have been changes in the recommendation process that the ADHE (Arkansas Department of Higher Education) staff must follow. The difference between the funding model determined needs of the entities for Fiscal 2011 and the Fiscal 2010 appropriations was $169.9 million, a 20.8% percent increase. The funding gap (the difference between the formula determined need and the current fiscal year appropriation) is part of a phenomenon that occurs when there is an extended economic downturn which is invariably accompanied by enrollment increases, declining state support and tuition increases which are necessary to cover the loss of state support. It should be emphasized that the funding needs of the institutions are the funds needed to bring Arkansas higher education closer to the average funding level of the SREB region. The operating recommendations include: (1) funds necessary to provide the state's share of a 2.3% COLA for all unrestricted educational and general staff; additional non-formula funds for Arkansas State University's Delta Heritage Centers ($2.1 million), UALR-RAPS Nano-Technology Centers ($2.3 million), and the ADTEC (Arkansas Delta Training and Education Consortium), ADWIRED (Arkansas Delta Workforce Innovations for Regional Development) and the Crossroads Coalition ($3.2 million), and UAPB's Land Grant matching funds ($0.5 million). (2) The 2.3% COLA for all unrestricted educational and general salaries represents a cost of approximately $27.8 million of which the state's portion is approximately $12 million. The recommendation summaries in (Table 1A) represent a 1.6% increase for colleges, a 1.5% increase for universities, a 5.2% increase for nonformula entities and a 1.5% increase for the technical centers for fiscal 2011.

Download or read book Affirmative Rhetoric Negative Action written by Valora Washington and published by George Washington University, Graduate School of Education & Human Development. This book was released on 1989 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for higher education to shift from a policy of nondiscrimination to one of affirmative action is examined, with note taken of the clear opportunity for higher education to take advantage of faculty positions being vacated due to retirement during the mid-to-late 1990s. Preparations can be made now to provide opportunities for minority students to enter graduate school and be prepared for a future career in the professoriate. Necessary issues and actions are defined. The first four of the reports discuss the following topics and subtopics: (1) overview of affirmative action for African-American and Hispanic faculty (why it is important to have a diverse faculty, higher education before affirmative action, defining affirmative action, and the impact of affirmative action on higher education); (2) supply and demand for African-American and Hispanic faculty (status of this faculty in higher education, supply and demand issues, quality of faculty life, tomorrow's professoriate: the empty pipeline, and barriers to equal access and effective affirmative action); (3) effective affirmative action, institutional approaches and barriers (including institutional leadership, search committees, affirmative action offices, and case study--the African-American presence at Antioch College); and (4) national responses to affirmative action issues in higher education (court decisions, governmental agencies, public commissions, and professional organizations). Conclusions and recommendations are provided in section 5 and cover public policy, higher education practices, and research needs. Tables are included. Contains approximately 180 references. (SM)

This book was released on 1931 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 7, 1929, the Hon. Harvey Parnell, Governor of the State of Arkansas, addressed a request to Dr. William John Cooper, United States Commissioner of Education, asking that the United States Office of Education "... make or cause to be made, under its supervision and direction, a survey of the State-supported institutions of higher learning in Arkansas." Governor Parnell's letter states: "The subject of the survey would be: (1) To examine the scope and character of the work of these institutions, and (2) to make recommendations as to what policy the State should pursue in the development and maintenance of a State-supported system of higher education." In response to this request arrangements were made for Dr. Arthur J. Klein, Chief of the Division of Higher Education of the United States Office of Education, to meet with the governor, the State superintendent of public instruction, and the presidents of the State-supported institutions of higher learning in Arkansas, at the governor's office in Little Rock, September 23, 1929. As a result of this preliminary conference, certain memoranda of agreement were entered into between the State of Arkansas and the United States Office of Education. Consequently, under the direction of Dr. Arthur J. Klein, a large amount of data was collected by questionnaire and other methods, relating to the status and the problems of the State-supported institutions in Arkansas. When these data were thoroughly studied and digested, they were made the basis for an intensive field study of the institutions, and the findings and recommendations are presented in this bulletin, which is divided into 11 chapters, as follows: (1) Introduction; (2) The public schools and higher education; (3) Teacher training; (4) Institutional functions and relations; (5) Physical plant and libraries; (6) Ability to support education; (7) Business management; (8) General extension service; (9) Standards and practices in teacher training; (10) Uniform standards and practices; and (11) Summary of conclusions and recommendations. (Contains 40 tables. Individual chapters contain footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.].
