1. Supporting Success: The Higher Education in Prison Key Performance Indicator Framework

Author

Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP), Brick, Michael Scott, and Ajinkya, Julie

Abstract

Recognizing the transformative potential of higher education for people involved in the justice system, the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) with an advisory council of experienced higher education in prison (HEP) practitioners, data experts, and dedicated advocates, with input from students who are incarcerated, developed guidance to properly identify and benchmark quality higher education in prison (HEP) programs nationwide. This report outlines a comprehensive set of key performance indicators (KPI) that will help HEP programs generate long-needed data to inform program quality, develop robust standards of practice, and ensure quality outcomes for students. The KPI framework outlines metrics in four assessment categories: student success outcomes; academic quality; civic engagement; and soft skills, the non-technical and interpersonal proficiencies identified by employers as essential for success in today's workplace. In addition to listing and defining the indicators in the four assessment categories, the report includes recommendations for practitioners, correctional administrators, and state and federal policymakers.

2. The Management of Change.

Author

Columbia Univ., New York, NY. Community Coll. Center., Brick, Michael, and Bushko, Andrew A.

Abstract

The main body of this document consists of three presentations given at a conference on the management of change. The conference provided each participant the opportunity to formulate, plan, and implement desired change at particular institutions in a more sophisticated fashion. In the first presentation, three conceptual models of executive behavior and decisionmaking in a complex organization are discussed -- i.e., the rational approach, the political approach, and the organizational structure and processes approach. A variety of case studies illustrate these models. The second presentation reviews the research-development-diffusion, social interaction, and problem-solver perspectives employed by most authors in the field of dissemination and utilization of knowledge for the purposes of change. The authors explain how these three perspectives can be brought together in a "linkage model," describe the general factors which contribute most to dissemination and utilization, and discuss the implications of these factors for the practitioner. The last presentation analyzes and criticizes four major change theory models: the mechanical, the systems, the organizational analysis, and the anthropological. (Author/DN)

3. Collective Negotiations in Higher Education.

Author

Columbia Univ., New York, NY. Community Coll. Center. and Brick, Michael

Abstract

Following introductory material, four monographs on collective bargaining are presented. The first, the strategy and tactics of collective bargaining, offers valuable suggestions as to how negotiations should be conducted and concludes on a positive note arguing that no clear dichotomy exists between faculty and administrator power. The second monograph deals with the impact of faculty unionism on tenure by analyzing the causes of faculty unionism, discussing the problems that tenure systems create, and finally determining whether or not tenure matters will be negotiable. The third monograph discusses the changing relationship between college presidents and Boards of Trustees; collective bargaining was mentioned as one of the possible factors having influence on the relationship. The fourth monograph examines and analyzes the state public employment statutes with recommendations for statutory treatment of institutions of higher education. (MJM)
