It would seem that an "advisory board" is to take those traditionally faculty concerns (priorities, planning, curriculum, etc.) out of faculty hands and put it more into the hands of administration. In other words, a further disempowering of faculty and imbuing administration with greater control--one of the primary goals of any administration. With the advisory board answering directly and only to administration, faculty can finally be slowly eased out of the loop.
All the administration needs and wants are instructors to deliver the "product" to the "customer" and to ensure the "customer" is happy (retention). With an advisory board, administration needn't have those endless meetings and debates about the value of higher education or what higher education should be doing or the direction it should be going. Noel-Levitz and the numbers will drive the direction and make the decisions thank you very much. No faculty need apply. --Mike --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
