Sinopsis

A number of establishments have attempted to gain tighter control over, exact greater accountability from, or increase the efficiency of their higher education systems by reorganizing the decision and reporting structures that connect institutions to the government. This process of "restructuring" can involve institutional mergers and acquisitions, consolidation of institutions and systems, or the elimination of governing boards and agencies. This book analyzes methods and objectives of restructuring through the experiences of five different systems. By looking at both the process and the impacts of these five efforts, it seeks to provide insights into correct (as well as the incorrect) way to go about restructuring, and present lessons for institutional leaders who see restructuring as a means of solving governance problems in their own settings.

"'Proceed with caution' is the lesson for legislators and would-be reformers of higher education found in this book. Success or failure hinges on dealing with the hard, cold realities so thoughtfully analyzed by this group of outstanding authors." --Dr. James R. Mingle, executive director, State Higher Education Executive OfficersRestructuring Higher Education examines what actually works and what doesn't in restructuring state systems of higher education--and offers guidelines for producing successful change. The book describes the changes implemented in five states, detailing the political, economic, and social events that prompted the restructuring, the processes by which it was brought about, and the effects of restructuring on the system.
