Book Description
From the pages of this book: Demands, expectations and responsibilities of youth in the present day scenario Education has become an open secret. The learner expresses the right to acquire knowledge as she or he feels that the facility has been created by the Government for her or him to graduate with necessary knowledge and skill. In this process there are confrontations in the campus, arguments with endless people in the society, without understanding the consequences of the actions. Although the students expectations are correct and there should be proper arrangement for education as per the need, the situation is slightly different today. The youth in the process of demand, also extends the legitimate limit of expectation. While their right is justifiable, they sometimes forget their duty to respect law, respect the society, other people, teachers, staff, failing which they cannot be moulded as responsible citizens. Most important thing in life is not the achievement of worldly possessions but being a good person with good value system. High moral value, integrity, respect for elders and fellow feelings to colleagues and friends are the cardinal principles of life in eternity. Infrastructural facilities for efficient functioning of the institute Clean and beautiful campus is the desire of every one. I used to hear about shining campus. The Institute with academic infrastructure like Department building, auditorium, play grounds, playing courts for Tennis, Volleyball, Basket Ball, cricket pitch, open air theatre, hospital, canteen, food courts, corner shops for stationery, tea / coffee, internet caf, etc., make campus life vibrant. Hence beautiful and attractive ambience of all these facilities put high level of confidence into the residents particularly students who are the main stake holders. Their residential areas with hostels, coffee / tea stalls, messes, parks, walk ways, gymnasium, indoor games, viz. table tennis, volley ball, badminton courts are the star attractions. Other residents of the campus who are equally important stake holders are faculty and staff members who deserve even better facilities because of their long term stay in the campus where their family members grow from one s tage of life to another. Their children spend best part of their life in the streets of the campus. Therefore, their housing facilities, their recreational centres like clubs, play field, banking, post office, shopping complexes make their life exciting and even interesting which in turn give them necessary energy to given their best for the overall progress and functioning of the institute.

Changing Governance and Management in Higher Education
Author: William Locke
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400711409
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
External drivers are pressing for a more privatized approach to higher education and research, a greater reliance on technology and the more efficient use of resources. This book analyzes recent changes in institutional governance and management in higher education and their impact on the academy and academic work. It draws on findings from an international study based on a survey of academics in eighteen countries. It opens with a chapter outlining the key issues, drivers and challenges that inform contemporary discourse around academic work and the profession in general. It then focuses on national case studies, comparing changes in the top tier with the lower tiers of national systems, public and private institutions, and other differentiating factors appropriate in each country, which include mature and emerging higher education systems. It concludes by proposing a series of generalizations about the contemporary status of governance and management of institutions of higher education.

University Governance
Author: Catherine Paradeise
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402095155
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Higher education reforms have been on the agenda of Western European countries for 25 years, trying to deal with self governed professional bureaucracies politically weakened by massification when an emerging common understanding enhanced their role as major actors in knowledge based economies. While university systems are deeply embedded in national settings, the ex post rationale of still on-going reforms is surprisingly uniform and “de-nationalized”. They promote (1) the “organizational turn” of universities, to varying extent substituting collegial loosely coupled entities by “integrated, goal-oriented entities deliberately choosing their own actions (and therefore open to differentiation), that can thus be held responsible for what they do” (2) the diversification of stakeholders, supposedly offering solutions to problems as various as the democratisation of universities, the shrinking of State budget resources and the diversification of university missions offering answers to changes in the making and in the use of science. When it comes to accounting for these reforms, two grand narratives of public management share the floor. NPM implies a strengthening of the capacity of the core State to direct public services organizations through management by objectives and results or contractualization, assessment, evaluation and. “Governance” focuses on “network-based” governance systems, where coordinating power and control are collectively shared between the major ‘social actors or partners’ at all levels of the decision-making system. Our results suggest that all higher education systems under study were more or less transformed according to both these narratives. It is therefore needed to understand how they combine or create contradictions. This leads us to test a third neo-weberian model. This model reaffirms the role of the State, of representative democracy, (central, regional and local), of public law (suitably modernized), preserves the idea of a public service with a distinctive status, culture and terms and conditions. It shifts from an internal orientation to bureaucratic rules towards an external orientation in meeting citizens’ needs and wishes by means of standardization of work processes and their products, based on a distinctive public service and a particular legal order survived as the foundations beneath the various packages of modernizing reforms. This book traces the national dynamics of public policies, organizational design and steering tools in seven European higher education and research systems, using these narratives to interpret and test the actual changes and the degree of national specificities and European convergence. This book is not a sum of national chapters like other presumably comparative. It does not intend to tell once again the story of the transformation of the relationships between the state and universities. It tries to use Higher education system to discuss issues on state intervention and steering and more generally the NPM, governance and neo-weberian models in a specific field. Furthermore, this book intends breaking the walls between specialists in higher education and specialist in public management and research policy. This well rooted division of labour is less that ever justified as the university mission in research (fundamental, applied, strategic) is underscored by commentors and reformers themselves. For that reason, we have chosen to observe the consequences of the dynamics of public policies, organizational design and steering tools on two specific issues related to the development of research training and organizing within universities: the transformation of research funding on the one hand and the expansion of graduate studies and doctoral schools on the other.

The Governance and Management of Universities in Asia
Author: Chang Da Wan
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429765177
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
This volume seeks to identify and explore the dynamics of global forces on the development of higher education in Asia, in particular, how neoliberalism has affected reforms on university governance and management in the region. It includes a set of country-specific studies on how various countries have responded to the dominant neoliberal ideology at the systemic, institutional, and process levels. The focus is on the relationship between the state and the universities, which is usually reflected in the degree of autonomy and accountability allowed in a particular higher education system. The selected countries are Cambodia, China, Indonesia, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand. Each case study examines the establishment of corporatised or autonomous universities in the country focusing on (i) the acts, reports, and/or policies that led to such a move as well as the rationales behind the move; (ii) the changes in the governance and organisational structure of the universities, highlighting the kinds of autonomy that the universities have; (iii) the new management strategies, techniques, and practices that have been introduced to the university including the internal and external quality assurance mechanisms, and (iv) some of the tensions, conflicts, and acts of resistance that may have emerged.

European Higher Education Area: The Impact of Past and Future Policies
Author: Adrian Curaj
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319774077
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 727
Book Description
This volume presents the major outcomes of the third edition of the Future of Higher Education – Bologna Process Researchers Conference (FOHE-BPRC 3) which was held on 27-29 November 2017. It acknowledges the importance of a continued dialogue between researchers and decision-makers and benefits from the experience already acquired, this way enabling the higher education community to bring its input into the 2018-2020 European Higher Education Area (EHEA) priorities. The Future of Higher Education – Bologna Process Researchers Conference (FOHE-BPRC) has already established itself as a landmark in the European higher education environment. The two previous editions (17-19 October 2011, 24-26 November 2014), with approximately 200 European and international participants each, covering more than 50 countries each, were organized prior to the Ministerial Conferences, thus encouraging a consistent dialogue between researchers and policy makers. The main conclusions of the FOHE Conferences were presented at the EHEA Ministerial Conferences (2012 and 2015), in order to make the voice of researchers better heard by European policy and decision makers. This volume is dedicated to continuing the collection of evidence and research-based policymaking and further narrowing the gap between policy and research within the EHEA and broader global contexts. It aims to identify the research areas that require more attention prior to the anniversary 2020 EHEA Ministerial Conference, with an emphasis on the new issues on rise in the academic and educational community. This book gives a platform for discussion on key issues between researchers, various direct higher education actors, decision-makers, and the wider public.

Pages : 146
Book Description
Explores approaches to effective leadership and strategic management in the twenty-first century university that recognize and respond to the perceptions and attitudes of university leaders toward institutional structures. It examines the differences between treating universities as businesses and managing universities in a businesslike manner, what kinds of leadership will best address challenges, and how to gain consensus among constituents that change is needed. From historical background to modern e-learning techniques, we look at governance to find systems that are effectively structured to balance the needs of students, educators, administrators, trustees, and legislators.
