Should We Start An Honors College? An Administrative Playbook For Working Through The Decision, Richard Badenhausen
Should We Start An Honors College? An Administrative Playbook For Working Through The Decision, Richard Badenhausen
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
The last two decades have seen significant growth in honors colleges, though the transition to that model takes many forms. This essay lays out crucial questions for stakeholders considering such a move. While highlighting material advantages that may accrue from the transition, the chapter also notes reasons for not starting an honors college; and it explores some of the new challenges that recently founded honors colleges will face. Above all, the essay frowns upon the so-called “switch out the sign over the door” approach to institutional change in favor of deliberate, thoughtful, and strategic processes that involve many stakeholders and …
Using Data To Inform Decision-Making: A Focus On Department & Program Enrollments, Craig D. Hlavac
Using Data To Inform Decision-Making: A Focus On Department & Program Enrollments, Craig D. Hlavac
Academic Chairpersons Conference Proceedings
Department chairs are frequently required to make decisions on behalf of their department. Most significant decisions require input from department stakeholders (e.g. faculty, staff, students) yet the responsibility for guiding this process – including gathering and presenting relevant data – generally resides with the chairperson. Determining what data is needed for each situation can be challenging, especially when considering enrollments. This session will provide current and prospective chairpersons with practical suggestions for seeking relevant data points to assess and guide department initiatives with a specific focus on enrollments. Simple, measurable recruitment and retention strategies will also be discussed. Participants will …

Institutional Accreditation: Making The Process More Efficient, Effective, And Meaningful To Colleges And Universities, Cynthia J. Requa
Ed.D. Dissertations in Practice
Institutional accreditation is a voluntary, peer-review process that is overseen through the seven institutional accreditors governed by the U.S. Department of Education. The purpose of accreditation is to ensure institutional quality standards are being met by colleges and universities. The purpose of this study was to identify how the accreditation process could be improved with foci on efficiency, effectiveness, and more meaningful impact to the institutions. Drawing on Heifetz et al.’s (2009) theory of adaptive leadership, Kotter’s (2012) accelerators and the integrated planning principles of Stephens (2017) and Immordino et al., (2016), this study employed grounded theory to discover the …

While strategic planning is often approached from a theoretical perspective, it is in the implementation that the rubber hits the road. The importance of leadership in this shift from a theoretical plan to actual implementation cannot be underestimated. Change agents from a variety of institutional types—community college, public institution, and private institution—will discuss strategies used to inspire and guide others toward the achievement of shared objectives while managing institutional complexities. You will learn about issues leaders must successfully address to implement a meaningful strategic planning process.

Governance And Board Member Identity In An Emerging Nonprofit Organization, Jeffrey J. Aulgur
Governance And Board Member Identity In An Emerging Nonprofit Organization, Jeffrey J. Aulgur
Administrative Issues Journal
Organizational effectiveness is a term without a single definition about the nonprofit community; it is difficult to define, much less measure, due to the wide disparity in that community. Inconsistency in the sector leads to an array of hypotheses in the literature addressing organizational effectiveness. Through a comprehensive examination of a single nonprofit organization, this qualitative case study examines the gap between the expectations of board performance by the nonprofit organization’s senior leadership and the board members’ self-perception of their governance role. The dominant self-perception of the board of directors is that their value as a governing entity is in …
