Book excerpt: For many, the American community college is a vital, and often the only avenue to an education which can foster the skills and attributes needed by present and future citizens and leaders to make and remake the conditions of their daily existence. As such, it is critically important to understand the impact these institutions have on students and their ability to engender and support a more authentic democratic society. In the rapidly changing community college environment, examination of faculty voice in academic matters is of critical import. This study will show that curriculum control by faculty has eroded due to the imposed and hegemonic control of neoliberal education policies over the past four decades. While many may not recognize the oppressed subculture within higher education consisting not only of community college students but of community college educators, the system of community colleges in the United States has provided a canvas that has been reused and reshaped to serve the desires of the elite, as opposed to the desires and needs of current and future community college students to live, work, and exist in a democratic society. While all of higher education has been impacted, the extent to which community colleges have been isolated and singled out as centers of vocational education and training is unique within higher education. This study will investigate the interrelated aspects of the erosion of faculty voice, the vocationalization of curriculum, and the impact these factors have had on providing a community college education which assists students in creating and supporting a democratic society of praxis. To address current circumstances, I will claim the role of community college faculty in academic decision making as a matter of recognition of status, as well as a way to promote a more just and democratic society through educational processes based in an ecology of knowledges.
Book Synopsis The Impacts of Neoliberalism on US Community Colleges by : Greg Sethares
Download or read book The Impacts of Neoliberalism on US Community Colleges written by Greg Sethares and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on community colleges as a unique structure within American higher education, this text investigates the specific ways in which these institutions have been impacted by a global increase in neoliberal education policies. Analyzing the effects neoliberalism has had on community colleges, the text charters discourse relating the erosion of faculty voice in academic governance, and decision making; the vocationalization of curriculum; and the impact that these factors have had on the ability of community colleges to provide students with an education that supports a democratic society. Exposing a movement away from the historical aims of community-based education, the text evidences a hijacking of community colleges to serve the objectives of the corporate elite. There has been a decline in community college faculty engagement in shared governance and their loss of recognition as academic and curricular leaders, and the book discusses the potential for redistribution of decision-making power back toward faculty. This text will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, academics, professionals and policy-makers in the fields of Higher Education, Education Policy and Politics, Sociology of Education, Higher Education Management and Education Politics.

Book Synopsis Community College Faculty, Overlooked and Undervalued by : Barbara K. Townsend
Download or read book Community College Faculty, Overlooked and Undervalued written by Barbara K. Townsend and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2007-05-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public community colleges in the United States enroll approximately 6 million students, about 45 percent of all undergraduates. These students are taught by nearly four hundred thousand full- and part-time faculty members, about whom little is known. The community college professoriate is truly overlooked in the research on postsecondary faculty. When community college faculty are studied, they are often examined through lenses more appropriate for four-year faculty. This volume provides a broad overview of community college faculty: who they are, what they do, and what factors affect their career and work. The authors also analyze community college teaching as a profession in an effort to take a fresh look at community college faculty and their work. The goal is to make all readers come to view community college faculty members as colleague making a distinct contribution to their students and to faculty work. Such an understanding is critical in the current policy environment that values postsecondary education for everyone and sees the community college as a major venue for providing that education. This is the 6th issue of the 32nd volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education. Each monograph in the series is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education problem, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Book Synopsis The Involvement of Florida's Full-time Community College Faculty in Institutional Governance by : Martha Etheredge Campbell
Download or read book The Involvement of Florida's Full-time Community College Faculty in Institutional Governance written by Martha Etheredge Campbell and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study's purpose was to investigate the level of involvement of Florida's full-time community college faculty in institutional governance, their perceptions of the faculty governance body's role in institutional decision-making, and the characteristics of an ideal governance process. This study also explored the relation between a faculty member's level of involvement in governance activities and his or her perceptions of the desired roles of faculty in institutional governance as well as the relation between a faculty member's level of involvement and his or her gender, race, age, and years of employment. Certain factors that encourage or discourage faculty participation in governance were also studied. Research methods included a 25-item survey (Miller & Vacik, 1998) detailing the purpose of the study and asking questions regarding the faculty member's demographics and level of involvement in governance. The research also included 12 faculty interviews. The interview analysis used established inductive methods. This study has shown that Florida's full-time community college faculty do participate in institutional governance but often do not attend faculty governance body meetings. They are, however, actively involved in service on committees and are likely to attend committee meetings regularly. While Florida's community college faculty can identify the roles faculty governance bodies play in institutional governance, they agree less about the characteristics of an ideal governance process or their perceptions of the roles of their faculty governance bodies. Age does not seem to affect faculty involvement in institutional governance although the race of the faculty member may have some effect. The faculty member's years of experience do not have a major effect on the faculty member's level of involvement. The faculty interviewed desire a faculty voice in decision making and believe that governance structures and processes should enable faculty to make their opinions known to all members of the college community. The influence of the college president and the senate president is critical for shared governance. The senate president should have access to the highest level of decision-making at the college.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High enrollment in developmental education, low completion, transfer, and graduation rates, led to the enactment of P.A. 12-40 (An Act Concerning College Readiness and Completion) by Connecticut policymakers. The purpose of this single case exploratory study with embedded units was to investigate how Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU) implemented P.A. 12-40 with a focus on the role of faculty as policy implementers. The Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM; Hall, Wallace, & Dossett, 1973) guided this study. Two community colleges in Connecticut with some differing institutional characteristics were selected for this study. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 22 research participants including 4 CSCU state-level administrators, 6 institutional administrators, and 12 faculty who were closely involved in implementing P.A. 12-40. Findings revealed CSCU stakeholders perceived P.A. 12-40 implementation as a bottom-up approach led by faculty. The role of ambiguity in the law and in the implementation instructions, resulted in different curriculum models implemented in both campuses. Faculty played a key role in decision-making through shared governance, and assumed administrative responsibilities in addition to teaching. Factors such as organization, personal interests, and policy ambiguity influenced the role of faculty as policy implementers. There are several implications to this study, one of which is to include faculty in agenda setting and implementation design when making policy in higher education. This study sheds light on future study to include the role of part-time faculty in community college policy implementation.
Book Synopsis Community College Governance by : Eric M. Campbell

Book excerpt: Over the past several decades higher education institutions have faced many criticisms regarding governance. Past studies have shown that as much as 70% of campus faculty and administrators believe decision making processes are ineffective and new approaches are needed. As many scholars point out, however, little empirical research exists and few studies have been conducted to advance the body of literature to better understand the perceptions held by both faculty and administrators in regards to governance, and of those, even fewer in the community college. The literature heavily suggests the way faculty and administrators form perceptions about governance is based on the organizational environment in which they function. Few in-depth studies have attempted to investigate the implications of an organization's environment, as it relates to shared governance. Most research in the area of governance focuses on internal and external forces of colleges, ways of altering structure, faculty participation in governance, student government, faculty senates, governing boards or subunits of these. It is clear that research has been conducted regarding the various afore mentioned areas, and the viewpoints of governance has been described through many lens; faculty, administrator and board of trustees to name a few. However, in areas regarding faculty and administrative perceptions and, how they interact to alter governance, few studies have been conducted. Thus, this study's purpose was to explore institutional governance in a public two-year community college, provide a more comprehensive understanding of institutional governance, and investigate the perceptions of faculty and administrators within this sector. The results provided valuable insight to the site institution regarding participants' perceptions of institutional structure, supervisory relationships, and shared governance. The findings of the study indicated that faculty and administrators significantly differ in these aspects of their organization, and that an environment of trust and cooperation in a community of equals is not the norm. Data analysis provided further evidence of a strong correlation and a significant relationship between institutional structure and shared governance, revealing that faculty and administrators perceptions of shared governance were strongly related to their perception of institutional structure.
Book Synopsis California Community College Faculty by : Maria Elena Clinton

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faculty involvement in institutional governance has come to represent the norm within higher educational institutions. Community college faculty members' role in institutional governance has not been the major focus for studies. Currently, faculty members from Liberal Arts (LAC) programs represent about 70 percent of the faculty in California community colleges; they also represent the largest percentage (88) of academic senate presidents. By comparison, approximately 30 percent of Career and Technical Education (CTE) faculty represent only 12 percent of the academic senate presidents in 2012. This study identified and explored the differences between LAC and CTE faculty perceptions of their values and roles regarding their involvement in the academic senate and shared governance process at their institutions. In addition, the study also identified and explored the notable differences and similarities between LAC and CTE disciplined full-time faculty member's perceptions of incentives and disincentives regarding running for Academic Senate president. The qualitative research design was used to interview and study Liberal Arts (LAC) and Career Technical Education (CTE) full-time tenured and tenured-track California community college faculty members at two community colleges located in one Southern California college district. The researcher discovered that the majority of the CTE participants did not feel as though the academic senate or college valued their discipline or discipline expertise. In stark contrast, the majority of LAC participants did believe that the academic senate and college valued their discipline and discipline expertise. The study identified that LAC and CTE participants share more similarities when it comes to the identification and perception of disincentives. Although LAC and CTE participants identified the same incentives, they had differing perceptions of the exact meaning or motivation behind them. More research is needed in this area of study if community colleges want to continue to have faculty from all representative disciplines participate in shared governance at their colleges. If these areas are not thoroughly explored, there will be a continued lack of participation from faculty, especially CTE faculty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To reclaim the public university is to focus our energies on teaching all our students well, educating them for a new, increasingly complicated age. To deliver on this promise, we must interrogate the general education we provide for our students, for that is the vast, unrecognized ground we stand on. It is what students and faculty do most in common. If we can get educating our students right, generally and liberally, then we will have laid a claim to what the public university needs to be.
