Governing Academia Governing Academia PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Public concern over sharp increases in undergraduate tuition has led many to question why colleges and universities cannot behave more like businesses and cut their costs to hold tuition down. Ronald G. Ehrenberg and his coauthors assert that understanding how academic institutions are governed provides part of the answer. Factors that influence the governance of academic institutions include how states regulate higher education and govern their public institutions; the size and method of selection of boards of trustees; the roles of trustees, administrators, and faculty in shared governance at campuses; how universities are organized for fiscal and academic purposes; the presence or absence of collective bargaining for faculty, staff, and graduate student assistants; pressures from government regulations, donors, insurance carriers, athletic conferences, and accreditation agencies; and competition from for-profit providers

The Kingdom of God Bible Prophecies: Prophecies That Will Shock the World by Brad Overton The Kingdom of God Bible Prophecies: Prophecies That Will Shock the World by Brad Overton PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Throughout the centuries, many Christian ministers have taught the bible prophecies, to their individual congregations. However, what most of these ministers have failed to understand, is that many bible prophecies were "sealed," and were not scheduled to be "unsealed" until after the last days arrive. Therefore, it was not possible to arrive at the correct interpretations, until after the last days arrived, and after the home computer arrived on the scene.

Norm Antipreneurs and the Politics of Resistance to Global Normative Change (Challenges of Globalisation) Norm Antipreneurs and the Politics of Resistance to Global Normative Change (Challenges of Globalisation) PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Over recent decades International Relations scholars have investigated norm dynamics processes at some length, with the ‘norm entrepreneur’ concept having become a common reference point in the literature.
