The paper recommends that future service learning ventures:(1) should be interdisciplinary efforts involving the entire higher education community;(2) should be infused into the curriculum, course work and field experiences;(3) should be diversified in their service efforts;(4) should be continuous processes focused on goals that will improve academic and social conditions;(5) extend into out-of-school activities;(6) incorporate projects that engage people at their

  • A Stronger Bottom Line
    A Stronger Bottom Line Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities Comparing Costs, Growth Potential of Kentucky’s Independent Colleges & Universities AIKCU member colleges and universities are complex, nonprofit organizations that are in the business of changing lives and communities. And like the leaders of any business, college leaders need access to accurate, organized, and insight-producing data to make good strategic decisions in an increasingly complex environment. This need is what led AIKCU leaders to partner with The Higher Education Practice LLC, led by Kenneth L. Hoyt, Ph.D., to conduct the Optimizing Academic Balance (OAB) comparative study. This is the first time that a group of similar institutions has gone through this process together, providing a critical but previously unavailable opportunity for benchmarking academic program costs and productivity. We are pleased that 13 of 18 AIKCU member institutions were able to complete the process. The participating campus leaders now have access to rich data that helps them understand the true economics of their academic programs and, importantly, how they stack up to similar institutions across the state. Having this information will aid their decision-making as they strive to maximize their limited resources to better serve students and their communities. We are extremely grateful to the James Graham Brown Foundation for its financial support of this project and its long history of supporting educational initiatives in the Commonwealth. We also want to thank the staff on our participating campuses for the time and energy they dedicated to mining their data systems and cleaning data in preparation for the OAB analysis.
