Planning Failures: Decision Cultural Clashes Subjects: Universities and colleges -- United States -- Planning. Strategic planning -- United States. Universities and colleges -- United States -- Administration. Abstract: This paper describes the inconsistencies between the rational decision-making basis for strategic planning and higher education's collegial/professional, dual hierarchical decision-making culture--inconsistencies that pose obvious problems for strategic planning in higher education. The results of a case study illustrate the cultural clashes that can occur when those differences are ignored; finally, the article suggests several steps for alleviating such problems. Bracco, Kathy Reeves. Richardson, Richard C. Callan, Patrick M. Finney, Joni E. Policy Environments and System Design: Understanding State Governance Structures Subjects: Higher education and state -- United States -- States. Education, Higher -- United States -- States -- Administration. Educational change -- United States -- States. Abstract: This article is based on a national comparative study of state higher education governance structures. The study sought to improve understanding of how differences in the state governance structures affect system performance. This article develops a new framework for examining such structures and its implications for state policy. The study suggests that statewide governance is best understood as the result of the interaction between the framework's two dimensions: policy environment and system design. Marcus, Laurence R. The Micropolitics of Planning Subjects: Universities and colleges -- United States -- Planning. Universities and colleges -- United States -- Administration. Abstract: Formalized approaches extant in the literature present strategic planning as a bureaucratic and objective exercise that will produce an integrated system of rational decisions. Yet power relationships and differences of interest among the players make planning a highly political activity. Focused on successive planning processes that occurred at the same university, this study sheds light on the micropolitical dynamics of planning and challenges several accepted premises regarding the planning process.

Public universities and colleges -- United States -- Finance. College attendance -- United States. Abstract: This study expands earlier research on student demand theory by examining the relationship between tuition prices, state grants, and public college enrollment in the 50 states from 1976 to 1994. It emphasizes differences in enrollment behavior among Asian American, Black, Hispanic, and White students, as well as among college sectors; from its results, the author establishes policy recommendations for states to improve equality of access to public higher education in this country. Freeman, Kassie. HBCs or PWIs? African American High School Students' Consideration of Higher Education Institution Types Subjects: Afro-American high school students -- Attitudes. Afro-American universities and colleges. Universities and colleges -- United States. Abstract: This study reports opinions from a cross-section of African American high school students from various cities, high school types, and family circumstances about their considerations of higher education institution type (HBCU or PWI). Exploring considerations rather than final selection provides a more comprehensive, expansive view of these students' selection and college choice process. The findings suggest that type of high schools attended and cultural affinity are among the range of influences considered. Bloland, Harland G.

Abstract: Two books by higher education professors analyze changes in academic work as globalization, the imperatives of the market, and external group pressures modify the role of the professoriate. A third book, by a journalist, provides a context for assessing the first two. This review essay argues that research marketization and prioritizing teaching above research show that control over work is shifting from the professoriate to external groups. The conclusion discusses strategies for retaining professorial autonomy.
