Identifying Quality in American Colleges and Universities

By: Edward Fiske,Bruce Hammond

How can planners help increase the quality of their institutions? And what are the main ingredients of a high-quality undergraduate education?

From Volume 26 Number 1 | Fall 1997

Abstract: Asserts that institutional rankings based on quantitative measures are largely meaningless; comparative, qualititative measures are the only useful measure of an institution’s strengths and weaknesses relative to its peer institutions. Advocates providing more honest and thorough information to students struggling to determine which institution is the best "fit," and suggests three foci for campus planners and policymakers: student body composition; interaction between students, faculty, and administrators; and the physical plant.

Who Will Lead Higher Education’s Transformation?

By: James L. Fisher

From Volume 26 Number 1 | Fall 1997

Abstract: Colleges and universities must respond and respond swiftly to the array of pressures and concerns, both internal and external, with which they are now faced. But who will carry out the necessary reforms? Contends that the greatest barrier to such reform is shared governance, and that campuses must return to "first principles" of higher education leadership, which recognize the president as chief transformational leader and the faculty as consultants, not equal players, in the management of an institution.

Confessions of a Campus Planner

By: Richard P. Dober

A founding father bares his soul, reveals his shaping influences and central ideas, and points to future concerns.

From Volume 26 Number 1 | Fall 1997

Abstract: In a review of his forty-year career in campus planning, the author traces not only the development of campus planning as a field, but examines the conditions that make for "good" plans. He concludes with a summary of physical development needs now faced by most campuses, including faculty offices, landscaping, "green" (energy-saving) architecture, and the preservation of historic buildings and removal of past errors in campus design.

By: Richard Chait

From Volume 25 Number 4 | Summer 1997

Rather than blindly attacking or defending the tenure system, legislators, trustees, administrators, and faculty must identify their desired results and work together to design appropriate solutions.
