Development of a Statewide Space Model

By: Lynda Alexander,Tim Lewis

The dynamics of using a space model for long-term planning, regulation of new construction, and appropriation funding.

From Volume 29 Number 1 | Fall 2000

Abstract: In 1998, the Texas legislature wanted to change the health-related institutions’ appropriations method to formula funding using the 1992 space model. Many legislators questioned the accuracy and validity of this model due to large predictions of unmet space needs. At the request of the Senate Committee on Finance, the commissioner of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board appointed an Advisory Committee consisting of representatives from all 11 Texas health-related institutions to review the 1992 model. This article describes the consensus environment and process that fostered the development of the January 1999 compromise space model.

Moving From Oversight to Insight

By: Robert DeBard,Kelli D. Peck

Planning for change in higher education requires grassroots advocacy more than executive leadership.

From Volume 28 Number 4 | Summer 2000

Abstract: The concept of shared governance is at the cornerstone of any planning process at American colleges and universities. Respecting this need for representation, however, has created an atmosphere in which participants in the planning process have come to view their role as that of oversight aimed at protecting a constituency more than insight intended to help move an institution forward. This article suggests a strategy that can address the criticism of higher education's inertia when it comes to moving from planning to decision making while maintaining the participative management style of shared governance.
