Download or read book Higher Education Administration written by Rachel S. Blechman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1999-11-30 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goonen and Blechman provide an analysis useful as a desk reference or as a text for practicing and prospective administrators and university counsel. They examine the legal points, ethical questions, and practical steps an administrator or university counsel should be aware of in dealing with some of the most frequently encountered issues in the administration of a college, university, or other postsecondary institution. Each chapter targets a selected area of academic affairs, and the format includes four sections—legal parameters, ethical considerations, practical suggestions, and an illustrative case. Hiring issues, compensation and employment issues, promotion and tenure, terminations, non-renewals, and reductions in force, academic freedom, student disputes on academic matters, and transcript and degree issues are all analyzed. Goonen and Blechman provide a general guide that can be readily utilized and understood by those without specific prior training in the law or in higher education administration. The discussions and information the guide contains will be valuable to current and prospective practitioners as they seek to balance the legal, ethical, and practical issues that surface in every decision in the increasingly complex higher education arena.

Download or read book Dismissal of Tenured Higher Education Faculty written by Arval A. Morris and published by Nolpe. This book was released on 1992 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication presents a close examination of conceptual, legal and related issues surrounding the dismissal of tenured higher education faculty, under the fourth exception to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). This exception, which will expire on December 31, 1993, permits existing, compulsory retirement-age policies to be applied to employees by their college or university employer at age 70 if the employees are "serving under a contract of unlimited tenure." The study is organized into four parts. The first, an introduction, describes the history of the development of the ADEA legislation and its amendments and exception as well as an overview of the study itself. Section II, "The Concept of Tenure," focuses on tenure's function and justification without considering the law. Part III, "The Legal Aspects of Tenure," addresses the question of whether the concept of tenure constitutes an unacceptable obstacle for institutions of higher education such that their efforts to achieve educational goals is unacceptably impaired. Part IV, "Conclusion," discusses age-neutral procedures, involuntary versus voluntary termination, the need to retain older faculty, and the role of academic tenure in the 1990s. An appendix offers dismissal procedure guidelines. Also included are a table of cases cited and an index. (JB)

This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the historical origins of tenure in higher education.

Download or read book Faulty Towers written by Roger E. Meiners and published by Independent Institute. This book was released on 2015-09-21 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Setting the record straight about the institution of academic tenure, this book elucidates its history, legal status, and common misunderstandings. Meiners argues that the original aim of tenure—to ensure academic freedom and integrity—can still be achieved and that the belief by many professors that tenure is a guarantee of lifelong entitlement, whereby only the commission of a crime can lead to dismissal, is wrong. He contends that as long as college administrators follow the rules of their own institution, there is little to prevent universities from dismissing tenured faculty who have become incompetent.
