Honors Programs: Development, Review, And Revitalization, C. Grey Austin

National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs

This is a monograph on the development and review of honors programs. Both subjects are treated in a single handbook because the materials presented here are useful in each process. The section on principles and practices of honors education in the United States (the overview) is background for those who would plan an honors program; for those who are reviewing and evaluating an existing program, the overview provides the means for educating those whose experience with honors is limited to the honors program of a single institution. It may add little or much to the director's knowledge, but it is …

Section Iii: Promoting Diversity: Gender And Multicultural Issues In Academe

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Few issues of the past decade have provoked as much interest, print, and passion in Academe as those of gender equality and multicultural diversity. This should come as no surprise. These vital concerns touch the personal and professional lives of all involved in the higher education enterprise: students, faculty, staff, and administrative officers. And if there are to be satisfactory resolutions to the problems we currently face in these areas, each of us must do his or her utmost, including, of course, the faculty development professional. The four articles in this section boldly, but judiciously, address the issues of gender …

Section Iv: Meeting The Challenge Of The Adult Learner

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Those who till the fields of Academe know that while the basic topography may remain essentially the same over the years, there are always enough changes-in climate, in availability of resources, in supply and demand, in technology-to make the enterprise interesting. Indeed, each decade seems to bring with it a virtual cornucopia of challenges. Certainly the 1980's delivered its fair share of issues and concerns, including that of dealing with the emergence of the adult learner as one of the major forces in higher education.
