Incentives and disincentives for effective management

Hyatt, James A.

Multiple economic and political forces have driven universities to change how they fund and finance education and research during the last 50 to 60 years. The advent of Responsibility Center Management (RCM) in the late 1970s and early 1980s coincided with a poor economy that had adverse impacts on investments, employment, and state revenues. Similarly, the economic recession of 2008--and its lasting effects--prompted many universities to seek greater efficiencies and unleash their entrepreneurs by implementing an RCM system. \nAuthors John R. Curry, Andrew L. Laws and Jon C. Strauss describe the many nuances and techniques institutions can use to implement RCM in this newly revised second edition. They explain that with the right design and active management, RCM can live up to its promises of clarifying roles and responsibilities between local and central units, coupling responsibility with authority, and linking cause and effect through revenue and indirect cost allocations. \nAlong the way, RCM creates a new relationship between the chief business officer and provost. Because RCM allocates new authority and responsibility to provosts and their deans, the accountability line between them is crucial to academic and operational success managed by the chief business officer.

The tenure and the influence of the Spellings Commission on the Future of Higher Education, and of current Department of Education policy leaders and their educational philosophies, are limited, but the issues raised by the Commission are likely to be of interest for some time. Rutgers University Professor Brent Ruben, executive director of the Center for Organizational Development and Leadership, led a NACUBO-sponsored study team in interviewing leaders from higher education, the Spellings Commission, the Department of Education, and higher education media about their reactions to last year's Commission recommendations. The resulting report, Assessing the Impact of the Spellings Commission: The Message, the Messenger, and the Dynamics of Change in Higher Education, provides a systematic analysis of the impact of the Commission that can contribute to policy formation and communication well into the future. 
Among the operational, policy, and scholarly questions that the publication addresses are: How has the Commission's work been perceived by key constituencies within the higher education community and more generally? What is it about the work of the Commission and its Report that has stimulated such vigorous and continuing reaction? Will the work of the Commission, and the reactions and responses to it, result in significant and lasting change? What lessons can be learned from this case about the dynamics of change within higher education?

Assessing the Impact of the Spellings Commission: The Message, the Messenger, and the Dynamics of Change in Higher Education

Sustainability is a powerful strategy for higher education to achieve renewal, reformation, and relevance in the 21st century. Boldly Sustainable examines how colleges and universities can leverage their commitment to sustainability to not only save money and have a positive impact on the environment, but also to carve out a distinctive niche in the marketplace. 
 Citing real world examples of innovative solutions in higher education, Bardaglio and Putman illustrate how building a culture of sustainability through creative leadership, a signature curriculum, connecting the classroom and campus operations, and reaching out to the surrounding community can help institutions to distinguish themselves from the pack, bolster their value proposition, and enhance organizational effectiveness. They make the case why sustainability makes sense even in tough economic times. 
 Geared to both newcomers and experienced practitioners, this book provides pathbreaking concepts, strategies, and tools that produce a sharper vision, an energized mission, and a firmer footing in the marketplace.
