Nexus: Mission Critical–Higher Education For The 21st Century

By: Camille M. Kirk

This series explores the connected nature of higher education planning.

From Volume 29 Number 1 | Fall 2000

Abstract: This article analyzes educational mission in terms of three foundational questions: what is the purpose of higher education, who should higher education serve, and how does the higher education institution fit in to the larger society? The author considers the factors influencing the mission of higher education within the context of these questions. She argues that institutions must define a clear and vibrant mission arising from their individual value systems by answering the three questions.

Planning for Interdisciplinary Integration

By: Cahal Stephens

Increasingly, institutions are constructing unified science centers -- the physical counterpart of multidisciplinary curricula.

From Volume 29 Number 1 | Fall 2000

Abstract: While it was once common to find separate buildings dedicated to the study and research of chemistry, biology, physics, and the earth sciences, there is a current movement in college and university settings toward unifying the science disciplines in one building or complex. This article addresses, in detail, this trend toward unification by discussing the driving forces behind the trend, the benefits of integrated science facilities, the challenges of the planning and design process, and the intricacies of the design approach.

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.

Pondering Faculty Participation in Strategic Change

By: Susan B. Morriss

This study discusses two important topics: participation and strategic change.

From Volume 28 Number 4 | Summer 2000

Abstract: This study discusses two important topics: participation and strategic change. The paper considers why participation is seen as necessary in higher education, why participation seems not to have aided strategic planning and change processes, and if those processes are inherently flawed. Information from interviews with selected persons with experience as administrators and as faculty and from research literature provide the foundation for an exploration of how participation and processes can be improved and facilitated.
