Intellectual Entrepreneurship

An Authentic Foundation for Higher Education Reform

By: Gary D. Beckman,Richard Cherwitz

Our relationship with the traditions and purpose of a humanistic education, it appears, are at odds with the career environment most students inhabit after graduation.

From Volume 37 Number 4 | July–September 2009

Abstract: Our position in this article is that “intellectual entrepreneurship” provides an intellectually authentic philosophical foundation that can sustain cross-campus and interdisciplinary entrepreneurship education. Drawing upon initiatives begun at The University of Texas at Austin, we document how intellectual entrepreneurship educates “citizen-scholars” by leveraging the knowledge assets contained within university. We demonstrate how to empower faculty and students to become change agents—both on campus and within communities. Anchored to the rich humanistic traditions of the university, intellectual entrepreneurship harnesses the core philosophy of Western education to transform the master-apprentice-entitlement paradigm into one of discovery, ownership, accountability, collaboration, and action.

Dueling Scorecards

How Two Colleges Utilize the Popular Planning Method

By: Howard Ballentine,James E. Eckles

Learn from this in-depth comparison of the “balanced scorecards” implemented by two small institutions.

From Volume 37 Number 3 | April–June 2009

Abstract: The Balanced Scorecard is a planning model used extensively in business to provide direction and accountability to an organization. Despite the demonstrated success of the model, it has not been widely used in higher education. This article compares and contrasts the use of the Balanced Scorecard by two small, private colleges. The article includes examples of how the model was implemented, how it is used for cyclical improvement, and how it can be used to improve communication concerning institutional planning.

Principles for Promoting the Financial Sustainability of Online Programs

By: Katrina Meyer,Janis Bruwelheide,Russell Poulin

From interviews with managers of FIPSE-funded online learning projects, these authors derived and analyzed ten basic principles for planning a sustainable online program.

From Volume 37 Number 3 | April–June 2009

Abstract: The project described in this article was an attempt to uncover the principles of financial sustainability for online programs and to align these with a guide to managing online programs. An initial team of experienced online educators developed draft principles, which were then reviewed by an external consultant and revised; the revised principles were subsequently reviewed and critiqued by seven directors of FIPSE projects that involved developing and offering online programs. The revised principles are a comprehensive set of questions, issues, and concerns that are important for administrators to understand and address when planning for online programs.

Closing the Loop

Linking Planning and Assessment

By: Michael F. Middaugh

What can be done about the disconnect on most campuses between planning processes and assessment processes?

From Volume 37 Number 3 | April–June 2009

Abstract: Institutions often engage in elaborate assessment and planning processes that have little or no relationship to each other. Highly effective institutions are characterized by strategic planning activities that are intentionally informed by assessments of both student learning outcomes and the extent to which human and fiscal resources are being maximized in support of teaching and learning. This article examines specific assessment strategies and ways of using those assessments to inform planning at a college or university.

Higher Education Community Engagement and Accreditation

Activating Engagement through Innovative Accreditation Strategies

By: Lorilee R. Sandmann,Julie E. Williams,Eleanor D. Abrams

The authors studied two very different public institutions and share the benefits they see in linking accreditation with an institutional commitment to student engagement.

From Volume 37 Number 3 | April–June 2009

Abstract: Convergence is occurring between external demands placed on U.S. higher education institutions, such as those from state and federal governments for greater accountability, and calls for higher education’s recommitment to public purposes. One important example of this convergence is the redesign of accreditation processes and standards. Because of this redesign, accreditation—traditionally an academic and administrative activity—now has the potential to elevate and advance an institution’s commitment to greater community engagement, a more contemporary, innovative institutional priority.

Prevention Through Connection

Creating a Campus Climate of Care

By: Jesse Owen,Emil Rodolfa

To whom does the Millennial student in psychological stress reach out?

From Volume 37 Number 2 | January–March 2009

Abstract: College campuses across the United States are increasingly challenged to educate psychologically distressed students and to recognize that college student mental health is not only a counseling center issue, but also a campus issue. As such, many colleges and universities are moving toward campuswide prevention efforts designed to help identify and support students who need to manage their distress. Prior research has highlighted these issues and described ways to involve campus units in initiating campuswide prevention efforts. This article focuses on the key elements necessary to successfully foster prevention efforts and includes practical suggestions to improve prevention protocols on campus.

Fusion Building

New Trend with Some Old Roots

By: Craig A. Hamilton

Any building that serves multiple constituencies requires well-done, integrated planning.

From Volume 37 Number 2 | January–March 2009

Abstract: The focus on the quality of a student’s entire academic experience has led to a greater emphasis on student life activities and facilities. In response, many campuses are renovating, expanding, or creating new buildings that support student life. While many of these are traditional stand-alone student dormitories, dining facilities, unions, and recreational facilities, there are examples where these historically separate program elements have been combined in new mixed-use buildings, known as “fusion” facilities. This article examines some of the historical precedents of this phenomenon, gives relevant examples, and discusses advantages and disadvantages of this new building type.
