Duplicating processes and procedure with anticipation of deviating outcomes is the defining trait of insanity as attributed to a quote by Albert Einstein. It is the antithesis to innovation, which is what is needed in higher education to create impactful changes in the outreach we should be providing to the community. What is important for those in the area of outreach and engagement at Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) is to recognize the relationship between policy, economic trends, strategic planning and innovation management. The focus of Outreach and Engagement programs should be to address these &quot;new&quot; scholarships through merging teaching, service, and research. The following article will present current research in the alignment between Carnegie Community Engagement Classification status and the Lynch Outreach Assessment model (LOAM), which assesses whether our system of outreach is effective and robust, and not the &quot;mile wide, inch deep&quot; practices discussed in the work of Rowan (2012). The model potentially provides a basis by which organizations can assess their engagement, develop initiatives to expand or improve it, and benchmark their progress. This article will provide a brief overview of Outreach and Engagement for IHEs, theoretical basis of LOAM, results of the study, and its implications for application.

This paper, based on a qualitative study, explores the transition experiences of Post-9/11 Era military veterans from active duty military service to college students for the purpose of adding to the body of knowledge about this student population. The subjects, who voluntarily offered to participate, were 15 community college student/veterans and 10 four-year institution student/veterans. The themes which emerged from analysis of the interview transcripts were financial issues, interpersonal issues, academic issues, community issues, isolation, and inconsistency of information received from academic institutions. Community college students reported high levels of interaction with faculty and virtually no interaction with other students, including other student/veterans, while the four-year institution students reported low levels of interaction with faculty, high levels of interaction with other student/veterans, and minimal interaction with nonveteran students. The information suggests the need and opportunity for continued in-depth studies of the student/veteran transition experience.

Around the world, these educational institutions focus their efforts on recruiting talented students, particularly from foreign countries. However, while well-established universities in developed countries can produce successful international recruitment campaigns, emerging universities still need assistance in producing a successful international recruitment campaign. In order to determine successful recruitment for emerging universities, articles were gathered on the recruitment and outreach techniques of universities in the most economically successful countries in the world. While certain themes were distinct for universities in certain countries, four major steps in the recruitment process were gathered from these secondary sources: funding the recruitment process, developing an international recruitment team, creating targeted advertising related to university specialty programs, and creating a multicultural atmosphere. Limitations related to the analysis included the use of secondary sources and the lack of primary data testing. In conclusion, emerging markets can create an international recruitment process following the four themes identified in successful international student recruitment.

Among doctoral programs, attrition rates and student feelings of isolation are high. In an attempt to determine the current levels and sources of support and encouragement from students enrolled in a Doctor of Education program, a survey was sent to students. There were 94 respondents to the online survey. Fifty-two (65%) of the respondents were female, and 28 (35%) were male. Fourteen respondents did not self-identify. Using an independent samples t-test, it was determined that female and male doctoral students report very similar experiences in support and encouragement. The majority of doctoral students reported the highest level of support (Total Support) for almost all of the areas of survey. When asked to rank a list of sources of support and encouragement, over 71% ranked Spouse, Partner, or Significant Other as being most important. Other sources that were ranked as important were Immediate Supervisor, Children, and Workplace Peers.

A master plan in higher education is developed to address the academic and workforce needs of a particular state. The master plan helps serve as the roadmap for implementation of proposed strategies to reach state goals in education and degree attainment. In Tennessee, Drive to 55 is a state-wide effort to increase the number of Tennesseans with a higher education credential to 55% by the year 2025. In an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the key elements within state master plans, an independent review of ten state plans was conducted. The states involved in the analysis were Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, New York, Colorado, Arkansas, Nevada, Louisiana, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The informal review revealed four key elements of state master plans in higher education: accessibility, affordability, accountability, and success. A consensus to reach underserved, underrepresented, or nontraditional students could be found among all ten states. Increasing accessibility to higher education can help abridge achievement gaps and eliminate disparities. Through responsible planning, management of resources, and assistance of those with demonstrated financial need, a quality higher education degree or credential that is affordable could be obtained. Accountability is measured in various ways by the ten states; however, clear expectations for performance are needed to ensure student success and positive institutional outcomes are experienced. A key element of success was noted to be college readiness and characteristics of students including determination and grit. Nine out of the ten states reviewed had some form of performance-based funding measures in place; providing incentives for institutions to help students successfully complete degree programs.

Corruption in higher education is an emerging topic in the field of education research. (Osipian 2008). Different aspects of such corruption have been addressed in numerous papers by various researchers. These papers indicate different aspects of the problem. Many of the papers evidence the global nature of this problem by highlighting corruption in higher education on different continents and in various nations, including Australia, Russia, Africa, China and India (Mohamedbhai 2016), Ukraine (Osipian 2015), the Republic of Georgia (Petrov &amp; Temple 2004; Janashia 2015), China (Yang 2015), Vietnam (McCornac 2015), and various states from the former Soviet Union (Heyneman 2007). The bulk of these articles concern institutions outside of the United States and involve four-year degree-awarding colleges and universities. Recently, the College of DuPage, a junior college located in suburban Chicago and the second-largest higher education institution in Illinois in term of the number of undergraduates enrolled, has been embroiled in waves of controversy. For almost two years, articles highlighting allegations of different types of corruption, fraud and abuse at the college had been a regular occurrence in the pages of the local newspapers and the news reports on local radio and television. This paper will discuss some of the more significant allegations and findings of corruption and abuse at the College of DuPage, analyze and attempt to illustrate some of the causes for the occurrence of these incidents, and showcase some of the recent efforts at reform at the College in an attempt by a newly constituted Board of Trustees to implement measures to prevent, detect and deter incidents of corruption in the future. This paper will also suggest areas of further study and analysis going forward. By discussing, analyzing and documenting the incidents of corruption occurring at a large community college in the United States, this paper intends to contribute to the growing body of literature regarding institutional corruption in higher education.

All teachers play a pivotal role, if not the most important role, in the success or failure of culturally and linguistically diverse children, but most importantly in the field of special education as overrepresentation of these children continues to grow. We believe that those teachers who are aware of their own ethnic identity are better prepared to work with children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Consequently, it is our contention that the knowing of one's ethnic identity is an ethical issue for special education teachers as they attempt to understand the lives of those children who differ from themselves. This paper explores the notion of cultural and ethnic identity and its relationship to the special education teacher.
