Download or read book The Ethical Challenges of Academic Administration written by Elaine E. Englehardt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an invitation to academic administrators, at every level, to engage in reflection on the ethical dimensions of their working lives. Academics are very good at reflecting on the ethical issues in other professions but not so interested in reflecting on those in their own, including those faced by faculty and administrators. Yet it is a topic of great importance. Academic institutions are value-driven; hence virtually every decision made by an academic administrator has an ethical component with implications for students, faculty, the institution, and the broader community. Despite this, they receive little systematic preparation for this aspect of their professional lives when they take up administrative posts, especially when compared to, say, medical or legal training. Surprisingly little has been written about the ethical challenges that academic administrators are likely to face. Most of the literature relating to academic administration focuses on “leadership” and draws heavily on management and social science theory. The importance of focusing on ethical deliberation and decision-making often goes unrecognized.

For academic administrators, be they provosts, vice-presidents or vice-chancellors, deans or directors, department chairs or heads, or administrative support professionals, the level and scope of responsibilities clearly influence perspectives. Yet, having a understanding of the higher-education enterprise is essential to ensuring professional success and advancement. Such understanding is at the heart of this work. This handbook addresses the three key responsibilities of academic officers: inspiration, evaluation, and representation. A[a¬AGetting a Good StartA[a¬? deals with the promise of a new position, communicating with supervisors, and A[a¬Agetting around.A[a¬? A[a¬AOffering Inspiration and DirectionA[a¬? looks at the integrated scholar and A[a¬Aacademic intrapreneursA[a¬?; diversity; the joys, challenges, and failure of professional life; and dealing with tragedies. A[a¬AGuidance to Various Academic Administrators and Support StaffA[a¬? examines the development, roles, and responsibilities of academic officers and institutional planning and budgeting. Reviewing the state of the institution and its personnel is covered in A[a¬AAssessments and Evaluations, A[a¬? and A[a¬APolicies and PartnershipsA[a¬? deals with ethics-based policies, academic consortia and partnerships, and international outreach. Throughout this valuable handbook, Smith offers background, advice, and examples that will interest both the novice and seasoned administrator as he takes us on a tour of success stories, challenges, and foibles.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What distinguishes academic administration from administration or managing in business? Rudolph Weingartner, arugues that colleges and universities are founded to serve certain purposes; they are supported by governments and private individuals; and, as professional institutions, they have students, among others, as clients to whom they owe education services in ways analogous to the obligations hospitals have via-^-vis their patients. Academic administration is not just another job of managing, but a calling that importantly assists institutions to carry out their missions.
