Book excerpt: Abstract The Illusion of Control examines the effects of governance structures within a statewide system of higher education, with a particular focus upon the California Community College (CCC) system, to explore whether differences in system or state governance structures can be argued to affect the standardization, adoption and enforcement of policies aimed at furthering student persistence and degree attainment. This research analysis seeks to use the uniformity of system-wide institutional policy adoption as a frame for illuminating and comparing CCC system governance to the governance of the public community college system in Florida, and to the CCC's sister systems of higher education the California State University and University of California systems. Specifically, this dissertation seeks to ask: 1) What effect does state higher education governance structure have upon individual postsecondary institutional behaviors regarding policy adoption and enforcement? 2) Are there organizational or state governance structure characteristics that differentiate the CCC system from statewide systems of community colleges in Florida or from the CSU or UC systems? 3) Do emergent differences in state level postsecondary governance structures measurably impact statewide institutional adoption of selected policy metrics within these states? 4) If certain state or system-wide postsecondary governance structures lend themselves to more consistent system-wide adoption of policy, what factor(s) contribute to the ability or inability to implement such governance structures? 5) Within the CCC system, who are the actors tasked with governance, how and why do they encourage or discourage adoption of differing governance structures/forms, and how do these actions manifest themselves in terms of uniformity of policy adoption? 6) What are the effects of these actions upon CCC students and California taxpayers? How might any change to the existing system come about? The primary research method used is a qualitative comparative analysis, utilizing the differences in governance structure between the CCC system and those of UC, CSU and the State of Florida's public community college system as the independent variable and the uniform adoption of a specific set of policies as the dependent variable. Emergent differences in governance structures that lend themselves towards increased levels of institutional adoption of a specific set of policies are illuminated, allowing further explanation of the origins and causes of these differences. Included in this research process is a review of existing taxonomies for public higher education governance and the forwarding of a new bi-level taxonomy that better captures the complexities of state public postsecondary systems. The policy set used for this analysis includes policies regarding placement assessment, academic advising, inter-institutional course articulation, and common course numbering systems. While these policies are intended to increase student success and persistence in all populations of college attendees, the unique nature of student transfer from community college to four-year schools makes this policy set particularly important to community college students and institutions. The first section of this dissertation defines governance, describes its general form in higher education and situates it in American historical context. I then explore existing literature on the two primary levels of public higher educational governance, individual institutions and statewide postsecondary systems. A brief explanation of differing postsecondary institutional types and their origins is followed by a review of the literature regarding the effect of governance structures on postsecondary policy initiatives and an analysis of my first set of findings. I then provide a modified set of conceptual frameworks for defining governance structures and use those frameworks to examine the effects of state and system governance on my chosen set of policy metrics. The second section of this dissertation is focused upon a comparative analysis of the CCC system against both the UC and CSU systems, as well as the postsecondary system in Florida. This comparison uses the chosen conceptual frameworks for governance to compare the uniformity of policy adoption. I then explore the basis for any emergent differences and suggest how governance plays a role in their perpetuation. The final section of The Illusion of Control is a historical and political analysis focused upon CCC governance, its historical basis, the individuals and agentive entities that participate in governing at local, system and state levels, and the benefits/problems introduced by such governance. I follow with an exploration of strategies for encouraging or facilitating any perceived need for change in CCC system governance, and an exploration of the potential of disruptive technologies or educational delivery systems as catalysts for change.

Book excerpt: Governance in U.S. higher education is discussed, based on a 1982 survey of decision making in higher education with attention to its roots, the effects of current conditions on decision-making arrangements, and a possible governance framework for the future. While both private and public education are considered, the public sector is emphasized. Governance is defined as both formal decision arrangements and informal procedures by which standards are maintained. Information was obtained from a survey of decision-making in state higher education agencies, flagship universities, four-year colleges, and two-year colleges. After discussing the mission of universities, the tradition of self-regulation in American higher education is examined, including the governing board and voluntary accreditation. Also covered are outside governance connections (the state, the federal government, and the courts) that have significantly altered the mission and governance of higher education. It is concluded that, on balance, higher education's partnership with governments on both state and national levels has generated far more benefits than it has administrative burdens. However, because external influences on academic governance should not be allowed to overwhelm internal governance structures, colleges are urged to strengthen self-regulation capacity, to take leadership roles, and to revitalize their historic governance tradition. The survey questionnaire is included, together with a list of participating institutions and agencies. (SW) reprinted from ERIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the history, present, and future possibilities of higher education governance in California. Although the state has an abundance of productive institutions of higher education, the system is currently overwhelmed because of the continued increase of students - both English and Spanish speaking - coupled with an increasing loss of public funding appropriations. Elementary and secondary schools are also struggling, and any failures at that level create further distress in community colleges because of remediation. Community colleges are the focal point of California higher education, as they serve as feeder systems into the University of California and California State University systems. Under the current stress of reduced funding per student, the system of higher education in California is struggling, and community colleges will soon not be able to sustain academic excellence because of the myriad of issues thrust upon them.

Book excerpt: During the Depression, amid growing demand for regional public colleges in California, University of California officials suggested that the state obtain the services of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching to review the organization and governance of public higher education in California. The subsequent report, referred to as the Suzzallo Report among contemporaries after the president of the Carnegie Foundation, provided a long list of recommendations to bring greater coherence and efficiency to California's tripartite public system. The recommendation for a Council for Education Planning became a reality, yet proved a failure. The growing rivalry between the University of California and the state colleges made voluntary coordination unworkable, with college programs proliferating to meet a great variety of program needs in local economies beyond teacher training. -- JAD.

Download or read book Governance and the Public Good written by William G. Tierney and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The public good is not merely an economic idea of goods and services, but a place where thoughtful debate and examination of the polis can occur. In differentiating the university from corporations and other private sector businesses, Governance and the Public Good provides a framework for discussing the trend toward politicized and privatized postsecondary institutions while acknowledging the parallel demands of accountability and autonomy placed on sites of higher learning. If one accepts the notion of higher education as a public good, does this affect how one thinks about the governance of America's colleges and universities? Contributors to this book explore the role of the contemporary university, its relationship to the public good beyond a simple obligation to educate for jobs, and the subsequent impact on how institutions of higher education are and should be governed.

Download or read book The States and Public Higher Education Policy written by Donald E. Heller and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2011-08-02 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affordability, access, and accountability have long been among the central challenges facing higher education -- and they remain so today. Here, Donald E. Heller and other higher education scholars and practitioners explore the current debates surrounding these key issues. As students and their families struggle to meet rising tuition prices, and as state funding for higher education dwindles, policymakers confront issues of affordability within state and institutional budgets. Changing demographics and challenges to affirmative action complicate the admissions process even as colleges and universities seek to diversify enrollments. And issues of institutional accountability have forced the restructuring of higher education governing boards and a reexamination of the role of public trustees in governance. This collection analyzes how issues of affordability, access, and accountability influence the way in which state governments approach, monitor, and set public higher education policy. The contributors examine the latest research on pressing challenges, explore how states are coping with these challenges, and consider what the future holds for public postsecondary education in the United States. Praise for the first edition "Affordability, access, and accountability will continue to be hot-button issues as legislators at all levels address constituents' concerns about their children's future... Any administrator who wants to gain a deeper understanding of these issues... might do well to spend some time with these essays." -- University Business
