In 2005 Adrian College was home to 840 enrolled students and had a tuition income of $8.54 million. By fall of 2011, enrollment had soared to 1,688, and tuition income had increased to $20.45 million. For the first time in years, the small liberal arts college was financially viable. Adrian College experienced this remarkable growth during the worst American economy in seventy years and in a state ravaged by the decline of the big three auto companies. How, exactly, did this turnaround happen? Crisis in Higher Education: A Plan to Save Small Liberal Arts Colleges in America was written to facilitate replication and generalization of Adrian College's tremendous enrollment growth and retention success since 2005. This book directly addresses the economic competitiveness of small four-year institutions of higher education and presents an evidence-based solution to the enrollment and economic crises faced by many small liberal arts colleges throughout the country.

Today's headlines are full of employee unrest over racial injustice, communities infuriated by corporate environmental impacts, staff anxiety over surveillance, and discoveries of child labor in supply chains. We've traveled far and fast from the old world of business ethics, where black-and-white concerns about bribery and fraud could be addressed with rules and processes. Simply maximizing shareholder value while not breaking the law is no longer an option, but we've never been so confused about what it means to do the right thing.
In this eye-opening, indispensable book, NYU ethics professor Alison Taylor argues that amid stakeholder demands and transparency pressures, we can no longer treat ethics as a legal and reputational defense mechanism. Leaders at Davos and the Business Roundtable have called for a new corporate responsibility paradigm, but how to implement their ideas remains an open question as organizations struggle in an atmosphere of heightened expectations and intense suspicion. Offering vivid stories and examples, Taylor brings this complex, risky environment alive to provide a blueprint for how leaders should rethink and reshape their practices.

The future of higher education depends on how managers respond to the challenge of rising costs, changing labour markets and new technologies. More people will follow some form of education programme in the next couple of decades than did previously in all of human history. Most of the capacity to accommodate this demand will be created in the global online environment. The shift in what is currently valued in higher education (towards a knowledge-based economy) is driving the need for new business models. As the pace of change accelerates, education providers need to redefine their strategy for sustainable success. This volume presents the thinking of leading higher education researchers and academics from IDRAC Business School and partner universities regarding the new stakeholders in higher education systems and structures, and the kinds of business models which are needed in order to offer a sustainable value proposition. The articles gathered together here provide an insight into changes taking place in higher education institutions (HEIs) and the responses to such change. They underscore the belief that pervasive technology and ubiquitous Internet access have transformed higher education, putting pressure on HEIs to review their traditional approach in order to deliver anywhere, any ware, and any time. HEIs have a critical role to play in society; the onus is on managers to integrate a philosophy of employability, to support small and medium-sized enterprises to be smarter, and to be more innovative as communities of learning. Both the popular press and academics have initiated debate around the changes taking place and the effectiveness of current business models in higher education. The weaknesses of the current system have been exposed and discussed at length; the general consensus is that a rupture with the past is needed. Now is the time for systemic change and development to prepare learners for the uncharted and uncertain world ahead.

English | ISBN: 1498537294 | 2017 | 132 pages | EPUB | 634 KB
The Working-Class Student in Higher Education: Addressing a Class-Based Understanding challenges understandings of social class and education by asking how community college faculty perceive working-class students and how that perception reflects class-based assumptions in higher education. Faculty may recognize social class, but how it is experienced within higher education is often "lost in translation," particularly when faculty members are interacting with a differently classed student population. Recommended for scholars of education, pedagogy, and sociology.
