Decision Making Processes of Higher Education Governing Boards
Author: Brian T. Keech
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Communication
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Governing boards of organizations have come under scrutiny in recent decades for financial problems, leadership scandals, and a variety of other uncomfortable reasons. Trustees might have prevented challenges and scandals if the appropriate board oversight were in place including the right board structures, practices, culture, governance, and communication processes. Colleges, and university boards in particular, operate in a unique space given their organizations' mission to educate the next generation of students, conduct groundbreaking research that promotes the development of new knowledge, and engage in civic activities among other endeavors. These organizations are held in high esteem because of the importance of their mission, despite reported poor decisions and scandals within the industry. Governing boards vary greatly in size, structure, culture, and effectiveness of operation. Their members make decisions about the direction of the institution, including changes in leadership, mission, purpose, or strategy. However, these decisions remain a mystery to most scholars and, certainly, to the general public who are the consumers of their educational services. With global disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of governing boards and their decision-making has become even more critical to institutions' long-term sustainability. This study utilized a qualitative multiple case study approach to examine how two different types of higher education governing boards (private and public) determine when to make decisions about significant changes within the organization. To develop an understanding of the operations of a governing board in relation to the change process and leadership change, in-depth interviews were conducted with governing board members from two different higher education institutions in the northeastern United States. The communication practices between the governing board and the president in particular were explored as a component of the decision-making process, in light of shifts in the educational landscape due to the pandemic. Through an analysis of governing boards' decision-making process, as well as their structure, culture, governance practices, performance, and relationship to the president of the organization, this study has identified factors that contribute to governing boards' decisions to make significant change.

School Boards in the Governance Process
Author: Lejf Moos
Publisher: Springer Science & Business
ISBN: 3319054945
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This book analyses local school district governance in a comparative, cross-cultural perspective based on national studies of local school boards in the Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The overarching research question explored by the national studies contained in this volume is: How are transnational influences of standardization and accountability, alongside national policies, transformed into local policy cultures by the school boards? In all the Nordic countries, the municipalities are equivalent with the school district level, and municipalities, as such, play a role as the interface between state policies and the schools. This book discusses the variation across different national systems in the Nordic countries in the degree of decentralism, as well as the processes through which sources of political autonomy are put into practice by school boards. It explores the interplay between context and policy-making at the local level, and analyses how local discourses expressed by school boards differ from national policies and trans-national influences. The book’s analysis of the country-cases and thematic chapters shows that there are both important similarities and significant differences in governance functions, power relations and understandings of school board chairs and members between the countries studied. Moreover, the book analyses the many ways in which these similarities and differences affect the work context of school leaders and teachers in the Nordic countries.
