Symbolic Interactionism And Moral Hazards In Higher Education, Louella Moore Oct 2012

Symbolic Interactionism And Moral Hazards In Higher Education, Louella Moore

Administrative Issues Journal

Public colleges and universities today are more than institutions of academic study. They play a role in the economic and social life of their communities by engaging in partnerships aimed at enhancing their scope and brand image. This paper suggests these partnered activities do more than just manage costs and replace state support during economic downturns; the activities are also central to managing the image and political scope of the institution.

Agency and symbolic interaction concepts are …

Challenges Facing Public Higher Education, Matthew Goldstein Mar 2012

Challenges Facing Public Higher Education, Matthew Goldstein

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Tuition increases have been imposed, placing greater demands on financial aid resources. Hiring freezes and/or personnel cuts have been implemented. Endowment values have dropped. And at many institutions, particularly community colleges, capacities and resources are strained by growing enrollments, as more people seek to retool skills, refashion careers, or gain some measure of job security.
