Public Versus Private

Fifteen student affairs administrators from five institutions of higher education in New Orleans were interviewed regarding their experiences immediately before and after Hurricane Katrina and how the crisis affected their work. Participants were chosen for their diversity among racial, gender, and institutional contexts. Analyses of the interviews resulted in four themes that describe the differences between how public versus private institutional cultures affected these administrators’ responses and the decision making that occurred in the wake of the storm. These themes include (a) decision making, (b) communication, (c) resources and limitations, and (d) student affairs status. Implications for policy, practice, and research are included.

This study reviews the effects of university financial constraints on student affairs services from 1992 to 1997. Senior student affairs officers at 4-year, state-assisted institutions of higher education that were NASPA members with undergraduate enrollments between 5,000 to 11,000 were surveyed. Additionally, productivity strategies used by senior student affairs officers were identified. A questionnaire was developed to solicit information on the effect financial constraints had on student affairs in the areas of service changes, funding shifts, and perceived program quality.

Increasing international student enrollment has been a key priority for many institutions of higher education in the United States. Such recruitment efforts, however, are often carried out without much consideration for providing sufficient support services to these students once they arrive to campus. This article proposes a model for structuring an international student support office to be successful at serving the academic, social and cultural needs of international students through a collaborative programming and outreach model with student affairs and other support service units on campus.

Technology has a tremendous influence in the running of all activities of daily living, not least the performance of management in institutions of Higher Education Institutions. The demand to be able to work more effectively and efficiently in producing a product both in the form of goods and services makes PPNS have to keep up with technological developments. PPNS is expected to produce a product, both goods and services, in accordance with the expectations of the stakeholders (students, society and lecturers-employees).

In this study, problems that occur in the PPNS Student Affairs Sector will be raised, namely regarding the approval of student activity proposals from the Student Association (HIMA) by the PPNS Management in Student Affairs under Deputy Director III. There are several steps that can be assisted in the process by using technology, so as to increase the effectiveness of performance in student affairs. Based on these problems and opportunities, a study is proposed with the title Integrated Validation System (IVS) Development to Optimize Student Service Performance in PPNS. With this system, it is hoped that it will help optimize the performance in the field of student affairs so that it can be more effective and efficient in serving requests for student activities at PPNS

“Thirty years from now the big university campuses will be relics. Universities [in their present form] won’t survive. It’s as large a change as when we first got the printed book” (Peter Drucker, 1997).Drucker is well known for identifying a trend before others see it. If his statement about universities turns out to be true, he foresees many changes ahead for higher education. This is not a surprise to many involved in higher education. However, the question of whether higher education can adapt and who can help facilitate these changes remain unclear. It is the authors’ belief that student affairs professionals have a critical role in helping their institutions to transform themselves in response to outside challenges. This article examines the dynamics of change in today’s world, why traditional rules of change no longer apply, and identifies new realities of change. Finally it will suggest some strategies that student affairs professionals can apply in helping institutions of higher education to change.
