Functional Equivalency

The role of police officers on college campuses has grown in the past 40 years from that of “glorified custodians” to full-fledged police officers, often with powers to search, detain, arrest, and even to use deadly force. Yet most state open records laws have not kept up, failing to require disclosure of records about crimes reported to or arrests made by sworn police officers at private universities. This article provides a full national picture by identifying the statutes and analyzing the cases to address whether state open records laws apply to private university police. It then suggests that the “functional equivalency test” provides courts a method to require transparency at these police departments.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji peran orientasi kesadaran sosial sebagai moderator hubungan antara karakteristik umpan balik dan reaksi umpan balik. Umpan balik bagi karyawan menjadi salah satu hal yang dapat meningkatkan kinerja dan motivasi. Hasil penelitian mengenai umpan balik terdahulu menunjukkan bahwa reaksi karyawan terhadap umpan balik dapat dipengaruhi oleh proses pemberian umpan balik itu sendiri. Selain itu penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa terdapat faktor lain yang dapat mempengaruhi bagaimana individu yang berbeda dapat bereaksi terhadap umpan balik, salah satunya adalah orientasi kesadaran sosial yang dimiliki tiap individu. Karakteristik umpan balik dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari kredibilitas pemberi umpan balik dan penyampaian umpan balik. Penelitian ini melibatkan 92 partisipan yang terdiri dari 23 laki-laki dan 69 perempuan. Partisipan merupakan karyawan yang bekerja di bidang layanan administrasi akademik di beberapa universitas di Jakarta. Sebanyak 60 orang (65%) diantaranya bekerja di universitas swasta, sedangkan 32 orang lainnya (35%) bekerja di universitas negeri. Berdasarkan hasil uji hipotesis didapatkan bahwa kredibilitas pemberi umpan balik dan penyampaian umpan balik terbukti dapat menjadi prediktor dari reaksi umpan balik pada karyawan layanan administrasi akademik. Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa orientasi kesadaran sosial tidak dapat menjadi moderator hubungan antara karakteristik umpan balik dan reaksi umpan balik pada karyawan layanan administrasi akademik. This study aims to examine the role of social awareness orientation as a moderator of the relationship between feedback characteristics and feedback reactions. Feedback for employees can improve performance and motivation. The results of previous studies on feedback indicate that employee reactions to feedback can be influenced by the process of feedback itself. In addition, previous studies have shown that there are other factors that can affect how different individuals react to feedback, one of which is the orientation of social awareness that every individual possesses. Feedback characteristics in this study consist of the credibility of the feedback provider and the delivery of feedback. The study involved 92 participants consisting of 23 men and 69 women. Participants are employees who work in the field of academic administrative services in several universities in Jakarta. As many as 60 people (65%) of them work at private universities, while 32 others (35%) work at public universities. Based on the results of the hypothesis test, it is found that the credibility of the feedback provider and the delivery of feedback are proven to be a predictor of feedback reactions in academic administrative service employees. This study also shows that social awareness orientation fails to become a moderator of the relationship between feedback characteristics and feedback reactions in academic administrative service employees.

The main purpose of this research is to establish a link between Entrepreneurship Development Program (EDP) and the role of private universities to show how EDP helps the performance of common roles of a university. Here, qualitative research methodology has been used to investigate the contribution of EDP of Southern University Bangladesh (SUB) in facilitating the conventional roles of a university. The EDP faculty members of SUB are selected as sample and a face to face interview is conducted with them individually to rationalize EDP as an effective intervention to facilitate the roles of SUB as a university. The study discovers six universal roles of a private university where the EDP of SUB facilitates the performance of the roles such as innovation, community development and promoting national heritage etc. The study also identifies the factors which impede the effectiveness of EDP and proposes some guidelines for the successful continuation of the program. As every private university has the propensity to play an effective role in the socio-economic development of a country, this research may contribute a lot to the body of knowledge of higher education management and endorse the significance of EDP in facilitating the role of higher education institutions effectively.

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a blessing for Pakistan and China. China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) appears as a major ‘Prosperity Tool’ which can help Pakistan to overcome its economic problems. CPEC has been researched up till now in various trade and commerce fields but its most important linkage with education was hard to find. This study was aimed to identify the role of university teachers in developing awareness and providing guidance and counseling to their students regarding career opportunities existing in the projects of CPEC. All the teachers of public and private universities of city Lahore were the population of the study. A sample of 150 teachers was selected randomly from different departments of two public and two private universities of city Lahore. A self-developed and validated instrument was used to identify the role of teachers. Reliability index (Chronbach Alpha) of the instrument was α= .82. Results showed that teachers were playing their role to make students aware of the CPEC projects. They were also providing counseling informally to their students at higher education level regarding the career opportunities existing in the CPEC projects. There was no significant difference found in the role of teachers in providing career counseling to their students at higher education level about CPEC projects with respect to their gender, residential area, type of university, designation and years of working experience. It was recommended that universities should arrange seminars, workshops, conferences, panel discussions and brainstorming sessions for the sensitization of their faculty members so that they could create awareness among their students regarding CPEC and take measures for their career counseling.

The purpose of this study is to look at whether higher education has an effect on value perceptions of students. In particular, the researcher will examine the role of 'foundation' or 'private' universities on the priorities of value perceptions. The results are limited to the 115 students participated in the study. In order to have a more generalizable and comprehensive analysis, large number of students from other universities should  also be studied. That way we could have a more convincing claiming about whether university education have negative or positive effects on the change of certain values. However, for the current study we can claim that university education is changing the level of value perceptions of students mostly in negative ways.

This study aims to examine the reality of intellectual capital in the private universities of Turkey and UAE and the role of intellectual capital in enhancing their competitive advantage. In this regard, the study explores the extent to which each element of intellectual capital influences the competitive advantage of the universities under the study and whether there is a difference between universities in how to manage the intellectual capital that they own. Accordingly, the study first explains the definition of intellectual capital and its elements (human capital, structural capital, relational capital), as well as the definition of the competitive advantage and its dimensions and fields of achievement in the universities under the study. Besides, it also investigates the relationship between the administrative procedures followed by these universities in the management of intellectual capital and in enhancing their competitive advantage from several aspects (innovation, quality, flexibility, development, and quality of service). The study relied on the selection of a simple convenience sampling method of the population of private universities in Turkey and UAE by a descriptive analytical approach, so a survey was made to verify the approaches in the theoretical frameworks of the intellectual capital and its relation to the dependent variables, which is the competitive advantage. The hypotheses were tested based on statistical analysis programs. The statistical analysis points to several important results and implications. Findings of the study reveal that there is a statistically significant relationship between the ability of the private universities in Turkey and UAE to manage their intellectual capital and enhance their competitive advantage, while the management of human capital, structural capital, and relational capital seem to have a similar impact rate on the Turkish and UAE private universities in enhancing their competitive advantage. Findings of the study further indicates that there is no statistically significant difference in the average responses of sample members on the level of the availability of intellectual capital requirements and achievement of competitive advantage in the private universities in Turkey and UAE due to some variables like gender, age, qualifications, years of service, years of service in the current position, job title.
