22 Quality Assurance: Accreditation Self-regulation of academic quality Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools New England Association of Schools and Colleges North Central Association of Colleges and Schools Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Western Association of Schools and Colleges Neither the state or the federal government is responsible for accreditation. 22
23 College and University Internal Governance Joint Decision-making or Collegial Decision-making regarding the curriculum, academic policies, and criteria and standards for personnel matters 23
24 History of Academic Governance 1889: first academic senate in the U.S. established at Cornell University 1915: American Association of University Professors organized to define and protect academic freedom 1966: Statement on Government of Colleges and Universities (AAUP, with recognition by the American Council on Education and the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges) 24

27 Liberal and General Education in the United States 27
28 Promoting Liberal Education Liberal education is an approach to learning that empowers individuals and prepares them to deal with complexity, diversity, and change. It provides students with broad knowledge of the wider world as well as in-depth study in a specific area of interest. A liberal education helps students develop a sense of societal responsibility, as well as strong and transferrable intellectual and practical skills such as communication, analytical and problem- solving skills, and a demonstrated ability to apply knowledge and skills in real-world settings. 28
29 Seven Principles of Excellence (Liberal Education and America s Promise - LEAP) Aim High and Make Excellence Inclusive Give Students a Compass Teach the Arts of Inquiry and Innovation Engage the Big Questions Connect Knowledge with Choices and Action Forster Civic, Intercultural, and Ethical Learning Assess Students Ability to Apply Learning to Complex Problems 29
30 General Education: Important Tool for Liberal Education Definition of General Education General education is the part of liberal education curriculum shared by all students. It provides broad exposure to multiple disciplines and forms the basis for developing important intellectual and civic capacities. General education can take many different forms 30
31 General Education Breadth Requirements at CSU Area A: English Language Communication and Critical Thinking Area B: Scientific Inquiry and Quantitative Reasoning Area C: Arts and Humanities Area D: Social Sciences Area E: Lifelong Learning and Self- Development Upper Division 31
32 Six Expectations of Graduates at SF State 1. Competencies for Lifelong Intellectual Endeavor 2. Intellectual Attainments 3. Appreciation of Diversity 4. Ethical Engagement 5. Integration and Application of Knowledge 6. Qualities of Mind and Spirit 32
33 Challenges Faced and Opportunities Presented 33
34 Continuing Resource Constraints ( Particularly for public universities) Slow restoration of budget reductions Continuing increases in student fees Increasing emphasis on private fund-raising Search for new sources of revenue Search for new models of higher education U.S. higher education: For public or private good? 34
35 Increasing Influences of For-Profit Fastest growing sector (10-12% enrolled) Controversial: 25% Pell Grants, 50% default, lack of gainful employment Conversion of nonprofit universities Joint ventures with mainline institutions Growth, scalability and high profitability of proprietary systems 35
36 Disruption from Technology MOOCs - Massive Open Online Course: A hype or a destination? Rapid growth and noticeable disruption Collaboration between private and public sectors Questions and resistance from traditions Can be centers of high profits Providing challenges and opportunities 36
37 International Competition World-wide recognition of importance of higher education Global competition for talent and resources U.S. share of 4,100,000 international students: 28% in 2001 and 19% in : U.S. sent 273,996 and hosted 764,495 Creation of new partnerships, joint degrees, dual degrees, and branch campuses (over 200 worldwide) 37
38 Quality Assurance and Accountability Completion/graduation rates (under 50% in 5 years and 56.4% in 6 years) Learning outcome: still a long way to go Costs: ever increasing Student debt load: on the rise Executive compensation: controversial 38
39 Turn Challenges to Opportunities: Give Students the Skills needed in the 21 st Century Problem identification or articulation Ability to identify new patterns of behavior or new combinations of actions Integration of knowledge across disciplines Ability to originate new ideas Comfort with notion of no right answer Fundamental curiosity Originality and inventiveness in work Problem solving 39
