Rising costs, shrinking enrollments, more diverse student populations, the need for adaptive management, the trend toward evaluation and assessment of programs and students will require proactive responses by college and university administrators in the 1990s and into the 21st century. This book provides analyses of the key issues that must be addressed. A key theme throughout is that administrators must view periods of financial stress as opportune times to eliminate outmoded facilities and equipment, reevaluate the roles of faculty and programs, and investigate service markets that may have been ignored in the past.

Simpson identifies strategies for cost containment or cost reduction in higher education and discusses these strategies in light of their effect on the quality of the learning experience, the future of the academic profession, and the implications for society. The emphasis is on the objectives to be served, rather than the resolution of financial difficulties on the revenue side or on crisis management. Some of the strategies discussed are applicable at particular levels of government; some relate to interinstitutional arrangements; and others are options for individual institutions.

This book offers a different way of thinking about post-secondary curriculum by considering how institutional curricula can act as a critical agent for preparing students to participate in the democratic public sphere. Tierney demonstrates that the curriculum itself is a cultural product that institutions of higher education socially construct and that the manner in which the individual institution defines its curriculum commits it to certain philosophical and ideological choices. The result of a year's research that included over 250 interviews at seven colleges in universities throughout the U.S., the volume concludes with recommendations administrators and faculty may employ in the effort to advance democracy in their colleges and universities.

This book is a basic treatment of faculty performance appraisal in higher education. It is written for those scholars faced with the need to understand the issues and solutions to the often thorny problems posed by having to judge the performance of their colleagues in teaching, service, research and citizenship. Neophyte administrators, committee members, and those facing evaluation are often perplexed by the range and depth of the questions concerning what constitutes an effective and reasonable performance appraisal system. This book provides answers to the most common of these questions and integrates current thinking from education literature with models of strategic management from business administration.
