Managerial Perceptions and Demographic Changes Within The Higher Education Landscape at Public Four-Year Institutions

Abstract

Drawing on theory from within public policy, administration, and several types of management this project looks to explore how campus leaders at public four-year higher education institutions have responded to shifts within their environments. Populations and institutional enrollments are always changing, and this project looks at shifts that have occurred within various segments of public four-year institutions over the last two decades. Having a more holistic view of higher education data, along with in-depth case studies, the ability to better understand responses by higher education leaders becomes available.
