Omolabake Fakunle – Journal of Comparative and International Higher Education, 2024
Micro-level internationalization offers possibilities to explore different human experiences in international higher education.

Chambers, M. M. – 1971
There has been a trend in state government toward tighter and tighter centralization that, though done in the name of greater economy and efficiency, is in large part a reach for political power.

Lisensky, Robert P. – NACUBO Professional File, 1971
The style of management in higher education has changed significantly in recent decades. The groups that have demanded, and in most cases been given, a share in the governance of the institution are the administration, the faculty, the students, and the non-faculty staff. The problem arises in implementing the claims for a share of authority. Some…

Matsler, Franklin G. – AGB Reports, 1982
Problems unique to central administrations and board members are discussed, including the line of authority, treating institutions equitably, exceeding statute-imposed limitations, the failure of board members to do their homework, and the extent to which the board should represent the people of the state and the institutions it governs.

Hermann, Jeffrey T. – Currents, 1992
Every college should have a campuswide computer publishing policy. Policy options include (1) centralized publishing; (2) franchise, with a number of units doing their own publishing; or (3) limited, with the publications office producing the basics and assisting other units when feasible. To be successful, the policy must also be enforced. (MSE)
