  • Upward Reclassification of Intercollegiate Athletic Departments to Division I: a Case Study Approach
    WEAVER, ANTHONY G., Ph.D. Upward Reclassification of Intercollegiate Athletic Departments to Division I: A Case Study Approach. (2007) Directed by Dr. Gerald Ponder. 436pp The purpose of this research was to describe the process of reclassifying an athletic department to Division I and its impact on the institution and its stakeholders. The study focused on the process of reclassification, the context in which the reclassification took place and a number of aspects (people, departments, facilities) that were altered during the organizational change. The relationship between intercollegiate athletic departments and the university, as well as personal relationships were also examined. Two universities, University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) and Elon University, were chosen for case study analysis. Data were collected and analyzed using case study methodologies and an adapted model of Pettigrew’s contextualist approach. Data from each institution were gathered using documents, archival records, semi- structured interviews, participant observations, physical artifacts, and direct observations. Analysis was completed based on the three constructs taken from Pettigrew’s model: context, process, and content. Content analysis of all documents and interview transcripts revealed several themes. Results indicate that although the context at each university was different, each university believed the reclassification would improve their institutional profile among competitive peer institutions. Each institution was also influenced by the athletic success of other institutions, which produced a belief that the upgrade would bring recognition to the institution. The process of the move to Division I was a complex progression involving numerous internal and external constituents. Each institution worked within the detailed parameters established by the NCAA, as well as the institution’s own procedures for completing the change.

  • Chancellor's Report
    The University of North Carolina at Greensboro 2005­2006 Chancellor’s Report Chancellor Patricia A. Sullivan Introduction and Strategic Directions The 2005­2006 academic year was a period of innovation, action and achievement at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The campus made great strides in several areas, marked by new research initiatives and academic programs, enrollment growth and major progress in The Students First Campaign. Through another year of learning, discovery and service, we met the needs of North Carolina as a diverse, student­centered research university linking the Piedmont Triad and North Carolina to the world. The university continued to move forward in its third year of utilizing The UNCG Plan 2003­2008, the institutional planning document through which UNCG’s future development is charted and its progress measured toward established goals. This report summarizes highlights of the university’s operation and also incorporates many of the accomplishments under the Plan’s five strategic directions. The strategic directions are: 1) Teaching and Learning: Promote excellence in teaching and learning as the highest university priority; 2) Creation and Application of Knowledge: Strengthen research, scholarship and creative activity; 3) Campus Community: Become a more diverse and actively engaged community of students, faculty, staff and alumni; 4) Economy and Quality of Life: Be a leader in strengthening the economy of the Piedmont Triad and enhancing the quality of life for its citizens; and 5) Access and Student Success: Recruit and retain students with the potential to succeed in a rigorous academic environment. Among the developments, honors and highlights that deserve special mention are the following: 1 • UNCG was classified as a research university with “high research activity” by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
