Описание: In this thought-provoking volume, editors Rebecca M. Taylor and Ashley Floyd Kuntz invite readers to explore the many facets of on-campus ethical dilemmas and the careful, nuanced decision-making processes required to address them. Taylor and Kuntz demonstrate how to apply collaborative, multidisciplinary, philosophical inquiry to deeply complex issues. They present seven normative case studies focusing on a variety of campus quandaries, from urgent matters such as Title IX violations and free speech in social media policy, to long-simmering concerns such as admissions and access and the future of historically Black colleges and universities. The editors then bring together a diverse group of scholars and practitioners with a broad array of disciplinary and personal backgrounds to offer their commentary and insight on the cases. Leaders in higher education are under immense pressure to respond to campus crises quickly, to quell controversy, and to avoid the backlash of public scrutiny in an ever-shifting sociopolitical terrain. Yet, in tension with such pressures, adequate responses to these dilemmas require leaders to make ethical, contextual choices that effectively foster inclusion, respect individual and institutional freedoms, and promote equity. Expanding the scope of inquiry, the contributors challenge underlying assumptions, raise points that had been omitted from the original cases, and imagine alternative solutions. Ethics in Higher Education appeals to readers to do the same, in the interest of advancing ethical decision-making on campuses.

Описание: The mission of higher education in the twenty-first century must address the reconciliation of student learning and experiences through the lens of indigenous education and frameworks. Higher learning institutions throughout Oceania have established frameworks for addressing indigeneity through the infusion of an indigenous perspectives' curriculum. The incorporation of island indigenous frameworks into their respective curriculums, colleges and universities in Oceania have seen positive impact results on student learning leading to the creation of authentic experiences in higher education landscapes. This book discusses ways of promoting active student learning and unique experiences through indigenous scholarship and studies among contemporary college students in Guam, Micronesia, and other areas of Oceania.
Further, the publication will be an intersection of three separate disciplines: first, an introduction to the fields of indigenous studies; second, language and/or cultural preservation; third, student success within the higher education landscape.
This publication will benefit individuals with a professional interest in the influence of indigenous curriculum in higher education, and among diverse student populations. The book's focus is on meeting practical challenges and will address two objectives. The first is to provide an understanding of the essential link between practices for incorporating island indigenous curriculum, and strategies for effective student learning and creating authentic experiences. The second objective is to provide course designs that are aligned with frameworks addressing indigeneity that place college teachers in the role of leaders for lifelong learning through indigenous scholarship and studies in Oceania. Further, the publication will be a useful tool for research, particularly, given the timing of globalization, expanding rights of marginalized populations, the increased focus on representation in the literature, and critical developments in indigenous rights and sovereignty throughout the Pacific.
Although this project's focus is on higher education in Oceania, the product is a publication that is reliable, well founded, and a highly sought-after book that would be instrumental and valuable to higher education students, professors, researchers, and scholars all over the world.

Описание:
This study addresses the increasing tumult over the commercialization of higher education - a battle over profit and principle, money and mission. While many issues in higher education encompass the mission and values of the university, the operation of for-profit subsidiaries by nonprofit universities provides the potential for an especially contentious clash. Some faculty have been especially vocal in this debate, claiming that the culture of the academy is being irreparably altered as traditional values are being replaced by a corporate style of management, or by some hybrid.
By answering the questions of why for-profit subsidiaries of nonprofit universities were created, how they are governed and managed, and what the nature of the relationship with their nonprofit parent is, this book contributes to a better understanding of the larger controversy over whether universities have become too business-like, too market oriented, and whether they have sold their souls and values in the process. In essence, the book provides a window into whether it is possible to do business like a business - a trend afoot in the academy - and still retain allegiance to core values.
Описание: The program works because the social reality is that the peer mentor has a better repertoire with the first semester freshmen than the faculty or staff and assists with student success.

Описание: Andragogy may be defined as a scientific discipline for study of the research, theory, processes, technology, practice, and anything else of value and benefit including learning, teaching, instructing, guiding, leading, and modeling/exemplifying a way of life that would help to facilitate and bring adults to their full degree of humaneness. Andragogy is one part of the broader international field of adult education, human resource development, and lifelong learning, thus serving the advancement and connection needs of adult learners, organizational development, and lifelong learning in areas such as higher education, business, military, corporate training, healthcare, executive leadership, courtroom practice, religious life, and human resource development.
Facilitating Adult and Organizational Learning Through Andragogy: A History, Philosophy, and Major Themes investigates the history, philosophy, and major themes of andragogy and how they may contribute to helping practitioners to design and facilitate adult and organizational learning. The book presents more than 500 documents that are examined through two different lenses. The first lens is the history and philosophy (or a chronological approach) of andragogy while the second lens takes a look at the major themes as categories of what the documents express. While encompassing the background, uses, and future of andragogy, this book is ideally intended for teachers, administrators, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students.
