Unbundling the Issue of Faculty Productivity

By: Robert C. Dickeson

Unbundling how faculty spend their time is a key driver of higher education purpose, institutional intent, and cost. It deserves to be unbundled into its component parts.

From Volume 41 Number 2 | January–March 2013

Abstract: The issue of better measurement of faculty productivity is securing increasing attention from national and state sources. Most discussion of this important topic focuses solely on the instructional component of how faculty spend their time. Productivity, to be assessed more completely, needs to be unbundled into its three component parts: instruction, research, and service. In addition, productivity alone is inadequate as a measure of faculty outcomes; what is required is a coupling of output with quality indicators. This article disaggregates productivity into its three parts and suggests quality measures to provide a fuller explanation of institutional behavior.

Understanding the Effects of State Oversight and Fiscal Policy on University Revenues

Considerations for Financial Planning

By: Gabriel Ramon Serna

This article outlines the ways in which increased state oversight and restrictive state fiscal policies have affected public four-year college and university revenue structures, highlights how these policies introduce new considerations for institutional financial planners, and outlines some possible institutional responses.

From Volume 41 Number 2 | January–March 2013

Abstract: This article surveys the impact of state oversight and fiscal policy on universities’ revenue structures with special attention to tuition and state appropriations. It highlights the difficulties that arise for financial planners who face increasing state oversight, diminishing state support, and significant reliance on increases in tuition and fees. It also considers the impacts of restrictive state fiscal policies on financial planning. The author suggests that as institutional planners seek out the factors affecting revenues, it is sensible for them to consider the consequences of state oversight and state fiscal policy in their assessment of the internal and external fiscal environments.

Impact of Mobile Computing

Anticipating the Effects on the Campus

By: Colin K. Currie

Familiarity with mobile web use and the incorporation of that technology into our teaching and learning practices are quickly becoming key literacies.

From Volume 41 Number 2 | January–March 2013

Abstract: Mobile is quickly becoming the dominant computing and communications platform. Starting in 2013, it is projected that smartphone shipments will outpace those of PCs. With this shift comes a corresponding shift in expectations from higher education users. We cannot afford to sit back and do nothing. Instead, we need to embrace this critical evolution in technology and harness it to the best advantage of our students, faculty, and institutions. An undertaking of this complexity and criticality requires a deliberate plan, but the plan will need to be highly flexible and able to quickly adjust to this constantly evolving and shifting landscape.
