Are they Singing From the Same Hymn Book?

By: Peter Eckel

Faculty and presidential perceptions of comprehensive change are not always as different as you would suspect.

From Volume 27 Number 1 | Fall 1998

Abstract: Article Faculty and presidential perceptions of comprehensive change are not always as different as you would suspect. Pull quotes: "The most agreed-upon source of high pressure compelling institutions to undertake comprehensive change, as reported by both faculty and presidents, came from presidents and cabinets." "Who is in charge? Who does what? The more interesting, and possibly more important, question might be, who thinks who is supposed to do what?" "This study shows that presidents and faculty agree more often than the conventional wisdom would suggest."

A Campus for the Evolving Technologies

By: Anthony Blackett

Technology will change how campuses are designed and used.

Planning Is Not a Management Substitute

By: John A. Dunn

Formal participatory planning may not be the best tool for achieving change.

From Volume 26 Number 4 | Summer 1998

Abstract: Asserts that planning is a tool, not a replacement for sound campus management. Using three case studies, two at Tufts University and one at Dean College, the author provides commentary on the usefulness of formal participatory planning in effecting change. In one instance, formal participatory planning was used, in the second it was avoided, and in the third, it was partially employed. Concludes with a reflection on the lessons that may be drawn from each of these examples.

Organizational Transformation Begins With You

By: Brian P. Nedwek

Our capacity to see things differently is the platform for change.

From Volume 26 Number 4 | Summer 1998

Abstract: Charges institutions with the responsibility for planning beyond the immediate need for survival, and for imagining instead what might be possible. Sees the potential for colleges and universities to model what it means to be a learning organization at all levels, and suggests cultivating a spirit of innovation, experimentation, and risk taking. At the very least, the author concludes, institutions must learn what keeps them from taking action, reflecting on the needs of learners, or extending across the institution the strategies that have been proven to work.
