College Libraries Eye Tradition In Era Of Change., Aldemaro Romero Jr.

Publications and Research

One could argue that universities originated

from places like the Library of Alexandria, established

23 centuries ago in Egypt. Libraries like

the one in Alexandria attracted the most talented

intellectuals.

They contained not only a large number of

papyrus scrolls but also served as botanical gardens,

collections of art and places of residence

for scholars.

When modern universities were built, libraries

occupied a distinctive place where students and

faculty went on an almost daily basis to seek the

information they needed for their studies. But

over the last few decades their role has transformed

and lessened. One reason for this …

What Democrats Have Planned For Higher Education., Aldemaro Romero Jr.

Publications and Research

The Democrats have made a number of concrete

promises regarding higher education if they win

the presidential elections. They promise concerted

actions against sexual assaults on campuses that

include comprehensive support for survivors, fair

judicial processes that prevent the use of cultural

biases against females as “inciters,” and increased

prevention efforts through education programs.

The Clinton campaign also promises support for

net neutrality, the idea that Internet service providers

should enable access to all content and applications

particular products or websites. The Democratic plan

also proposes expanding availability of fiber-optic

broadband Internet …

Panel: Brown University Redux - Effects Of Unionization On Graduate Student Employees: Faculty-Student Relations, Academic Freedom, And Pay, Sean Rogers, Adrienne Eaton, Paula Voos

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

In cases involving unionization of graduate student research and teaching assistants at private U.S. universities,

the National Labor Relations Board has, at times, denied collective bargaining rights on the presumption that

unionization would harm faculty--student relations and academic freedom. Using survey data collected from

PhD students in five academic disciplines across eight public U.S. universities, the authors compare

represented and non-represented graduate student employees in terms of faculty--student relations, academic

freedom, and pay. Unionization does not have the presumed negative effect on student outcomes, and in some

cases has a positive effect. Union-represented graduate student employees report higher levels of …

An Investigation Of The Trends In Pricing For Christian Higher Education And Its Relationship To Perceived Quality, Richard Holaway

Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)

Christian higher education administrators battle with how much to increase tuition on a consistent basis. One of the concerns with increasing tuition is the negative effect it will have on their prospective student market. The literature review was used to establish an understanding of the price-quality (PQ) relationship and its role in higher education, identify gaps in the research, and provide a context for the current study. The summary of the literature review is comprised of main points of interest through the previous sections and shows a need for further exploration into how the PQ relationship affects Christian higher education. …
