In the transaction, the professor receives either a lump-sum payment or an augmentation of her previously allocable retirement package. 2 Meanwhile, the university benefits from freed financial resources and additional flexibility within its academic departments. 3 These transactions, however, * J.D., 2010, St. John's University School of Law; B.B.A., 2007, Accountancy, University of Notre Dame.

Winger, BA Ph.D. Student in Teaching and Learning Graduate Teaching and Research Assistant University of North Dakota Grand Forks, North Dakota Myrna R. Olson, EdD Chester Fritz Distinguished Professor Department of Teaching and Learning College of Education and Human Development University of North Dakota Grand Forks, North Dakota Abstract This article represents a literature review on the controversial topic of academic tenure in higher education. While supporters of tenure view it as necessary to protect the academic freedom of professors and to promote the advancement of teaching and research, skeptics of tenure claim that it is an outmoded tradition and lifelong employment guarantee that few other professions enjoy. In this article, current trends are analyzed and recommendations are proposed regarding academic tenure.

    Colby Community College Student Success at the Baccalaureate Level

    Colby Community College Student Success at the Baccalaureate Level Seth Macon Carter A.A., Allen Community College, 2007 B.A., Emporia State University, 2009 M.S., Pittsburg State University, 2013 Submitted to the Graduate Department and Faculty of the School of Education of Baker University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership Date Defended: December 4, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Seth Macon Carter Abstract There is limited research that focuses on differentiating student success rates at the baccalaureate level (persistence and graduation status) among community college transfer students, and associate degree completing students. Data on student success provided to community colleges for students who transfer to a university do not designate or classify students by associate degree completers and individuals who transferred prior to obtaining an associate degree. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether differences existed in student success (persistence and graduation status) between Colby Community College transfer students who completed an associate degree and Colby Community College transfer students who did not complete an associate degree. For this study, student success was measured in two ways, persistence (persisted, did not persist) and graduation status (graduated, currently enrolled, did not graduate), among the cohort of Colby Community College transfer students who completed an associate degree and Colby Community College transfer students who did not complete an associate degree. The effect of student sex, race, and state of origin of Colby Community College transfer and associate degree completing students was also explored. Sex was defined as the classification of a student as male or female.

Thank you for the opportunity to appear today to provide background on the Kansas Board of Regents and our state’s system of higher education. I hope to return to your Committee in coming weeks to share our new strategic plan as well as the recommendations from the Future of Higher Education Council. Today, I will cover the highlights of our System and then plan to take your questions. Board of Regents By state law, the Kansas Board of Regents is balanced with residents of each congressional district and no more than one member from any one county. No more than five of the nine members may be from one political party.

Improve academic program transfer by creating a systemwide general education (GE) package to align programs under a common framework that guarantees seamless transfer and evaluate the pilot program that increased the number of credit hours eligible for transfer. 2. Review the 60 low-enrollment programs at the six state universities to assess program viability and strengthen the efficiency of degree program inventories. 3. Review university, community college and technical college plans and best practices to improve college-going rates, retention rates, and graduation rates of students from underrepresented populations.
