Organization and Governance in Higher Education is one of the primary teaching and research references in the study and practice of post secondary education. Research in higher education has provided new insights and recommendations for the management of postsecondary institutions. In addition to maintaining the strength and integrity of prior readers by continuing the coverage of classical theories and traditional models, the Fifth Edition provides updated reading to broaden the scope of the reader. New selections include current perspective on campus governance and institutional change. Because of the complex nature of the postsecondary institution, this reader creates eight subject area lenses. Each lens allows the reader to engage the specific paradigms and phenomena related to that aspect of higher education. The areas are arranged in the following order: classic organization theory, traditional

A comprehensive examination of higher education multi-campus systems and their role in improving state economies and communities. This thought-provoking volume brings together scholars and system leaders to analyze some of the most pressing and complex issues now facing higher education systems and society. Higher Education Systems 3.0 focuses on the remaking of higher education coordination in an era of increased accountability, greater calls for productivity, and intensifying fiscal austerity. System heads have been identifying ways to harness the collective contributions of their various institutions to benefit the students, communities, and other stakeholders that they serve. The contributors explore the recent dynamics of higher education systems, focusing particularly on how systems are now working to improve their effectiveness in educating students and improving our communities, while also identifying new means for operating more efficiently. This enhanced collaboration, or systemness, is the key aspect of version 3.0.

Higher Education Systems 3.0: Harnessing Systemness, Delivering Performance (SUNY series, Critical Issues in Higher Education)

Higher Education Reconsidered: Executing Change to Drive Collective Impact (Critical Issues in Higher Education)

Focuses on the opportunities and challenges of using the science of change to improve the academic enterprise. This is not another book about why higher education needs to change. This volume is about how to facilitate change. What could higher education achieve if varied stakeholders decided to work together to accomplish a shared vision by using data and scaling up evidence-based interventions? The contributors offer examples and instructions to help execute change in order to drive collective impact. When we understand large-scale change in other sectors, such as healthcare, business, and the social sector, it can help inform us of what collective impact looks like and how to get there. A deeper investigation into the science of change will enable us to work towards increasing access, overcoming racial disparities, reducing the need for remediation, and improving learning outcomes.

Higher Education Reconsidered: Executing Change to Drive Collective Impact (SUNY series, Critical Issues in Higher Education)

To meet the new and rapidly changing demands facing today’s higher education managers and leaders – from department chairs to trustees – this book offers guidance on how to effectively discharge their responsibilities and how to develop their skills for managing their relationships with internal and external stakeholders. It also provides a broad understanding of the structure and functions of their institution and of the appropriate loci of decision-making. The authors go beyond the “positions” of leadership to emphasize the qualities of creativity, commitment, collaboration, delegation and courage that are essential to steer a unit, college or university through successful and enduring change Recognizing that the hallmark of higher education in the United States is a diversity of institutional types, this book enables the reader to relate issues of environment, organization and management to his or her specific institution, from not only the presidential perspective, but from the vantage point of trustees, provosts, vice presidents, deans, and department heads. By covering all these functions―as well as the role of external stakeholders―in a single volume, this book offers readers a comprehensive view of how institutions respond to external forces and internal issues, and how these impact organizational structure, functions and decision-making in their roles, and the institution at large. The book is informed by these three essential principles: • Sound institutional decisions must be based on a clearly articulated mission and set of core values; • Successful institutional adaptation to a changed environment must be grounded and aligned with the fundamental mission and core values; and • Successful academic leaders must be able to create and foster partnerships, bringing diverse individuals and interests together around a shared vision and mission grounded in common values. This handbook is divided into five units. The first introduces the reader to the scholarly field of higher education and establishes the contextual framework for the rest of the book. The second investigates the multifaceted and often complex relationships that exist between institutions of higher learning and the external constituencies. The third focuses how college and university presidents and their board of trustees keep an institutional mission focused while adapting to changes in the environment, while the fourth analyzes how colleges and universities fulfill their core mission through shared democratic partnerships. The concluding unit concerns how effective academic leaders implement their institution’s academic mission. Both scholarly and accessible, this book is intended to be of interest to a broad audience, ranging from graduate students in higher education administration programs to members of institutional governing boards, and everyone in leadership positions in between. All of the authors have completed graduate work in a higher education administration program, and collectively have had experience with academic administration at every level through to the university presidency. Two of the authors are currently faculty in leading higher programs teaching classes in administration and organizational theory and have published widely in the scholarly field. One has been a member of a governing board. Study questions suitable for leadership training and graduate courses are provided online. See hot link at top right of this page.

Academic Leadership and Governance of Higher Education

Review\n"This second edition provides an astonishing breadth of information and invaluable historical context for those who are new to higher education leadership. Furthermore, I would anticipate that even those with deep experience in the field have much to discover in this thoughtful publication that charts the diversity of U.S. educational institutions in their increasingly global context. I am grateful to the authors for providing this valuable resource, refocusing our minds on their four principles of leading academic institutions, after two of the most challenging and nimble years our sector has ever seen."--Sue Cunningham "President and CEO, Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE)"\nFrom the Foreword: 
"This book is one of the best that I have read at providing the reader with a broad understanding of how higher education works and helping leaders see their role in dealing with different aspects of the enterprise - from student development to working with the governing board. Yet, its real impact should be on how it helps you evolve as a leader."--Nancy L. Zimpher "Chancellor Emeritus of the State University of New York (SUNY); former president of the University of Cincinnati; and former chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison"\n"Academic Leadership and Governance of Higher Education is a fundamental guide for those who are privileged to lead and guide our institutions, for those who study and comment on colleges and universities and most of all, educators committed to ensuring institutional vitality and student success. Collectively, principles such as defining and implementing mission, embracing values, advancing an engaged citizenry, and upholding inclusion, offer clarion calls to address the changing and diverse landscape of higher education."--Robert D. Kelly "President, University of Portland"\n"This book is incredibly timely given the tumultuous socio-political climate that academic leaders are facing and attempting to navigate. The authors provide an incredible resource to guide current and aspiring leaders in understanding their roles and responsibilities across the higher education landscape."--Lori Patton Davis "Department Chair and Professor, The Ohio State University"\n"This book is an essential reference for higher education leaders as well as board members. The common principles of mission, adaptation, democratic ideals, and inclusion provide a powerful organizing framework as well as a guiding compass for presidents and provosts. Even leaders that have emerged 'through the ranks' will gain tremendous insight from better understanding the historical and theoretical frameworks that undergird higher education practice."--Kathy E. Johnson "Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer, Office of Academic Affairs, IUPUI"\n"Academic Leadership and Governance of Higher Education unpacks the important and sometimes difficult relationship between institutional leadership, strategic board governance, and the outside environment. This expansive book provides readers with a real-world understanding of the role of board governance and how it can operate effectively in higher education -- from academic departments to boards of trustees. This is an important resource for anyone leading or governing a college or university."--Henry Stoever "President and CEO, Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges"\nWinner of the 2012 ASHE/CAHEP Barbara Townsend Lecture Award\nTo prosper and thrive in an increasingly unpredictable national and global environment, U.S. higher education will need to adapt, innovate, and evolve once again, as it has during every major societal change over the past four centuries.
