Neibling, John – Community College Journal, 2010
While most college presidents have mastered many basic tools of the digital environment, such as e-mail, Internet browsing, text messaging, most of them have yet to figure out social media--a glaring omission that remains one of the clearest dividing lines between generations young and old. Though most of them have yet to fully embrace social…

Lewis, Kenton; Hammond, John; Horvers, Kea – Perspectives: Policy and Practice in Higher Education, 2012
Not for the first time in its history, the UK Higher Education sector finds itself in a position of significant financial constraint.

Hess, Frederick M. – American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, 2009
"Human capital" is quickly becoming the new site-based management, a popular strategy from the 1980s and 1990s that sought to increase autonomy in schools and spread decision making more widely. While few are sure what human capital means, everyone craves it, has a model to deliver it, and is quick to tout its restorative powers. It is…

Mills, Andrew – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2009
The job market on North American campuses may be heading for the deep freeze, but hundreds of positions are opening up in the Persian Gulf as American universities scramble to set down roots in those petrodollar-rich states.

Tilghman, Chris – College and University, 2010
It might seem axiomatic that the character of a university's academic experience would be reflected in the character of its admissions processes. Unfortunately, it is not--at least, not in the world of continuing and adult education. Universities that offer rich academic programs, high-quality student/faculty relationships, and top-quality…

Trachtenberg, Stephen Joel – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2008
Something is wrong with tenure, and one needs to make it right. Abolishing it is not feasible, but it doesn't mean that one shouldn't at least consider changing some of the ways that tenure works. In this article, the author proposes that a better way to change tenure is to offer an implied contract of about 30 years. A 30-year contract would…

Mead, Lawrence M. – Academic Questions, 2011
The claim that faculty conduct research is one of the main justifications for the modern university. Supposedly, academe carries out important, cutting-edge inquiries in which society has an interest. In fact, states this author, research at American universities is becoming narrow and artificial, out of touch with social realities, and of…

Jambor, Zoltan Paul – Online Submission, 2009
Industries in developing countries could counterbalance the western monopoly on higher education by investing more in research at local universities and consequently improving the local human resources talent pools and the overall world rankings of the local universities.

Reed, Malcolm – English Teaching: Practice and Critique, 2009
In this semi-autobiographical short story, Malcolm Reed writes about English teachers' responsibilities towards the pupils they teach.

Billsberry, Jon; Gilbert, Louise H. – Journal of Management Education, 2008
This article makes a case for using Roald Dahl's children's fantasy and morality tale "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" to teach recruitment and selection. It draws attention to its relevance in illustrating and explaining three different recruitment and selection paradigms: psychometric, social process, and fit. It argues that the use of this…

Weisbuch, Robert A. – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2007
According to Weisbuch, many professors often view marketing and advertising as means to employ persuasion, not toward the good, but amorally, toward a commercial end that may be socially beneficial or harmful. Those in academe exist in a competitive environment, and while they are painfully aware of certain excesses and compromises that the…
