This book was released on 2004 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study, based on the theoretical bases of organizational culture (Cameron & Ettington, 1988; Cameron & Quinn, 1999; Ouchi & Wilkins, 1985; Schein, 1992) and professionalization (Abbott, 1988; Freidson, 1994, 2001; Larson, 1977), examined the organizational and faculty cultures within an urban community college district, and the relationship between those cultures and the professionalization status of its faculty. Using a quasi-ethnographic case study method and snow-ball sampling technique, eighteen faculty and five administrator interviews were conducted. Organizational documents were sampled, and participant-observation was undertaken. Analysis of interview transcripts and sampled documents were coded to determine evidence of cultural type and extension, maintenance or constraint of professional jurisdiction. Results indicated the prevalence of clan and hierarchical organizational cultures, as well as a faculty culture that, while attentive to the student-centered mission of the community college, maintained a strong academic orientation. Elements of the organizational and faculty cultures of the institution represented significant constraining influences on the professional jurisdiction of faculty included: time management, student assessment efforts, hiring practices, pressures toward uniformity, their role with adjunct faculty members, and their lack of involvement in institutional affairs. An unusually strong cultural affirmation of shared governance, on the other hand, serves as one of the critical elements maintaining the professional jurisdiction of the faculty. The results of this study suggest that the faculty in this community college system, while facing several impediments to the maintenance of their professional jurisdiction, share with the institution an unusually strong cultural commitment to shared governance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community college governance is a process for distributing authority, influence, and resources among internal and external constituencies. Having evolved from traditional public school bureaucratic and political models that emphasize control and oversight, community college governance is now a dynamic process with a host of participants. Gone are the days when presidents and trustees acted unilaterally on college issues. Although boards retain the legal authority to govern their colleges, prudent trustees now encourage broad-based involvement in governance. Nationwide, the trend is toward more participation and shared responsibility, and some states are codifying the process. For example, the California legistlature has mandated a shared governance system in public community colleges, reflecting the movement toward involvement and transparency. College leaders resist or ignore that trend to the detriment of their colleges and at their own peril. Interest in community college governance will increase among scholars and practitioners for many reasons. Enrollments are increasing rapidly while funding is not keeping pace. Taxpayer resistance is a reality. Workforce training programs will compete with transfer curricula for resources. Increasing numbers of poorly prepared students will require remediation. For-profit institutions will compete for students. Employee unions will press for better salaries and benefits and meaning participation in governance. Special interest groups will continue electing advocates to governing boards. P-19 initiatives will require close collaboration with public schools. In the meantime, rogue trustees will try the patience of everyone. Traditional governance models will not suffice in this demanding arena. Governance structures that are more collegial, flexible, and inclusive will be essential in the future as community colleges evolve to meet the needs of an increasingly complex and diverse society.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College governance is a function of structure and of how people act within that structure. Organizational strategies no longer identify administrations as monopolies that possess all of the good ideas. Recent organizational management approaches to governance promote inclusiveness in decision-making and are at odds with the community college's historical structures, with K-12 roots, which foster strong, control-oriented leadership. This study describes and explains perspectives on shared governance among selected community college representative leaders at a Vanguard community college. Results indicate that community college governance coordination is not static and its success is based on historical and cultural influences. Colleges are socially constructed organizations influenced by current stakeholders building upon the foundation laid out by those before them. The social influences are both internal and external. Local and state funding decisions, accreditation requirements, legal decisions, social/cultural trends, economic demands, and leadership philosophies influence the governance of a community college. Many governance systems in colleges don't work because they address content (the knowledge, structure, and data in a college) or process (the activities and behaviors), but fail to address the context in which both of those elements reside. The determinant of people's action isn't what they know but how they perceive the world around them. How to appropriately involve classified staff, faculty, managers, and students in decision-making is a concern for college presidents and boards. However, if they ignore the role college constituents can play in creative development and problem solving, presidents and boards run the risk of missing out on the best solutions facing the college.
