Wilkinson, Leah; Vander Putten, Jim – Online Submission, 2010
The economic downturn that began in the United States in 2008 has influenced higher education in similar ways to retrenchment in the early 1970s.

June, Audrey Williams – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2008
When it comes to building a top-notch faculty, racing to land prominent scholars is only half the battle for colleges. The other half: Fighting off poachers intent on swiping the college's existing talented mid-career professors. At Cornell University, a $35-million gift announced by officials in late September will give the institution an edge in…

Jambor, Zoltan Paul – Online Submission, 2009

Dilger, Alexander – International Journal of Educational Management, 2009
Purpose: Higher education, including research, depends crucially on the people involved, their talents and human capital.

However, it is not too…
