Show moreStatement of the Problem: This study was undertaken to examine the standing committee structure at Broward Community College, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Its purpose was fourfold: 1. To record the development of the standing committee system. 2. To describe the current committee structure. 3. To determine the number of decisions made by each committee between A~gust 1974 and December 1976 and the number implemented by the college. 4. To survey the attitude of administrators and faculty toward the committee structure. Procedure: A search of the college archives uncovered the information necessary for constructing the history of the development of the standing committee system. The general profile of the current committee structure was completed through data supplied by the Executive Vice President and the twenty-three committee chairpersons. An examination of the minutes of each committee from August 1974 to December 1976 revealed the number of recommendations made during that time; each was then checked with an appropriate college administrator to determine whether it had been implemented. Lastly, the attitude of administrators and faculty toward the committee structure was measured by a thirty-three item survey instrument. Delimitations: This study was limited to the current standing committee structure and the full-time faculty and administrators at Broward Community College, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. No attempt will be made to generalize results beyond institutions of a similar size, structure, and purpose. Results and Conclusions: The data lead to the following conclusions: 1. Throughout the college history, the committee system has not evoked particularly strong critical evaluation. 2. Specific goals and the committee's role in governance remain unclear to many people. 3. Committee chairpersons understand the committee's function as a recommending body . 4. Students are not actively involved in most of the college standing committees. 5. The joint appointment of committee members by the administration and the Faculty Senate is well-received and results in committees that are quite well balanced on a number of variables. 6. Faculty control the corr~ittees. 7. Senior faculty and administrators do not dominate the committee structure. 8. Since many committees meet infrequently, a heavy concentration of ex officio committee responsibilities among top administrators does not necessarily result in an unreasonable drain on their time. 9. Chairperson appointments are not rewards for any particular college group. 10. Many of the committees that meet infrequently make no recommendations at all. 11. Chairpersons are applying reasonable solutions to the problem of accommodating members from four locations. 12. Despite the existence of a dual procedure for preserving committee minutes, important historical information is lost when these procedures are not uniformly applied. 13. The workload varies greatly among committees. 14. Overall, the college implements a high percentage of committee recommendations. 15. Although administrators and faculty share some reservations about committee effectiveness and efficiency, they do not want the system abolished; however, they do favor some changes. 16. The size of committees is not perceived as a problem, but most respondents favor a reduction in number. 17. Committee assignments are viewed as additional burdens rather than as opportunities for shared decision making. 18. Position classification and sex have little effect on attitude toward the standing committee structure. 19. Strength of response to some aspects of the standing committee structure is influenced by length of service at the college and by highest degree earned. 20. Strong opinions on the standing committee structure are not influenced by division assignment. Summary: In view of the strengths of its current committee system, the college should be pleased with the structure's potential for excellence; however, it must also recognize the system's weaknesses and be willing to modify the standing committee structure to create an efficient and effective system which not only grants faculty a voice in decision making but also reaps their respect.

A STUDY OF THE ROLE OF THE URBAN ADVISORY COUNCIL CHAIRPERSON.
Creator
SHEELY, LAURENCE EUGENE., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine if there are perceived differences in salient dimensions of the role of the urban advisory council chairperson among principals, advisory council chairpersons, and advisory council members, as well as between Community Schools and non-Community Schools. To measure the perceived role of the urban advisory council chairperson along five salient dimensions, an initial survey instrument was developed and administered to forty-one Assistant Principals for Community Education. The results were factor analyzed, and the final survey instrument was expanded to the following eight salient dimensions: (1) Degree of Participation; (2) Linkage Between School and Community; (3) Shared Authority with Principal; (4) Parameters of Concern; (5) Responsibility for Council Operation; (6) Training; (7) Operational Involvement; (8) Leadership Experience. The three populations in this Dade County, Florida, study (principals, advisory council chairpersons, and advisory council members) were stratified into Community Schools and non-Community Schools. A cluster sampling method was used. Schools were randomly selected, and at each school the principal, the advisory council chairperson, and an advisory council member became part of the respective sample groups. The final survey instrument was sent to twenty-five persons in each of the six cells of the experimental design. The overall return rate was 82.7 percent with no cell less than 76 percent. Using the data from the final survey instrument, the hypotheses were tested with the Multivariate Analysis of Variance program at the Florida Atlantic University Computer Center. Of the three null hypotheses in this study, one was rejected and two were not rejected. The salient dimension, Responsibility for Council Operation, shows a significant difference in the perceived role of the advisory council chairperson between the principals and the representatives of the advisory council (chairpersons and members). No significant difference was found in any of the salient dimensions of the perceived role of the advisory council chairperson between Community Schools and non-Community Schools. Finally, it was found there is no significant interaction between the positions and the school types. Based on this study, it can be concluded that principals, advisory council chairpersons, and advisory council members do not hold similar perceptions of the role of the urban advisory council chairperson based on the salient dimension, Responsibility for Council Operation.

Show moreRepublicanism, a long-standing ideology, which embodied political liberty, virtue, and constitutional law, shaped America’s political culture from the country’s inception. The Republican Party’s formation in the 1850s was no exception to this rule. Paying close attention to the social and political climate in Massachusetts, this thesis will journey through the United States’ turbulent antebellum years and examine how the abolitionist organization known as the Boston Vigilance Committee (BVC) fashioned the contours of this anti-slavery party. Although scholars debate the committee’s origins, by 1846 members increased and expanded their activism in protecting escaped slaves from being returned to slavery and in assisting fugitives to freedom. By standing on moral, economic, and legal ground, Vigilance Committee members transformed Boston’s political culture and helped mobilize Northern support for an anti-slavery agenda that founded the Republican party and ultimately culminated in slavery’s eventual demise.

Show moreThe purpose of this study is to determine the make-up, organizational structure, and operational aspects of school advisory committees as well as to identify their contributions to local educational programs as reported by principals and advisory committee chairpersons. This study also reports differences in the perceptions of school principals and advisory committee chairpersons as to the role and functions of school advisory committees. Research questions relating to make-up, organizational structure, operational aspects, and contributions of advisory committees were analyzed. Conclusions: It was concluded that advisory committees are predominately female, as are their chairpersons. Committees usually meet monthly at the school during the evenings. Most committees do not have a constitution and by-laws. School principals and advisory committee chairpersons bad significant differences in perceptions regarding the role and functions of school advisory committees. Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties' respondents had significantly different perceptions regarding the role and functions of school advisory committees. Chairpersons reported that the advisory committees had made contributions in the areas of school safety, maintenance and improvement of the school plant, community and race relations, and articulation between schools. School principals reported that advisory committees had made contributions in the areas of preparation of the school budget, preparation of the annual report of school progress, community and race relations, school safety, and determination of school goals.

This study examines the relationships between the level of satisfaction both derive from their roles and perceptions of their participation in leadership and council operations. The results of this analysis appear to support both hypotheses. The highest canonical variate sets for coordinators are: (1) Achievement, Personal-Interpersonal; (2) Decision-Making, Goal Setting; (3) Responsibility, Work Itself. Those highest for council members are: (1) Achievement, Recognition, Monetary; (2) Leadership, Decision-Making; (3) Personal-Interpersonal; (4) Work Itself, Recognition; (5) Communication, Control; (6) Monetary, Supervision, Achievement; (7) Goal Setting, Leadership. The results, while not dramatically conclusive, imply that the instruments employed are operable in community schools.

Selected teachers, principals, parents, and community members were interviewed, SAC meetings observed, and SAC documents analyzed in an investigation into the roles of the SAC and SACs' impact on school reform. Data was transcribed, coded, triangulated, and analyzed to understand the views of SAC members. The study resulted in nine major findings: (a) State and local policies are unclear about the actual role of SAC, (b) past histories and current contexts shaped participation in SAC, (c) involvement in SAC was a result of personal motivation, (d) availability of information was an important reason for participation in SAC, (e) SAC participation brought the opportunity to have a voice and vote, (f) reform of curriculum, instruction, and assessment was not addressed by SAC, (g) SAC serves mainly as support, (h) the accomplishments of SAC are elusive, and (i) principals and chairs of SAC have the clearest view of the role of the SAC. The study concludes that SAC makes no significant impact on school reform, that connections between SAC and school reform are difficult to identify and recommends further research, a lessening of emphasis on high-risk, state-mandated assessments; and a change in state law to clarify the role of SAC.

Show moreThis study examined the effectiveness of citizen participation strategies occurring most frequently in the administration of educational programs. Determining the most frequently occurring citizen participation strategies required an exhaustive search of case studies noting the frequency of occurrence of the various strategies. A second search of the case studies yielded twenty critical criteria or issues which were frequently mentioned in the selection of a particular citizen participation strategy. Strategies found to occur most frequently were the public hearing, advisory committees, organizations and workshops. A panel of experts was randomly selected from a list of educational leaders with experience in citizen participation. A questionnaire was drafted, field tested and then mailed to each expert. It was found that educational leaders rank the advisory committee strategy as the most effective strategy followed by the workshop, organizations and public hearings. Another conclusion reached was that when specific criteria are suggested, the preferred strategy is subject to change based on the criteria and circunstance of the situation. The study further revealed that when a specific criteria or issue is weighted most heavily, the educational leaders identify different strategies as being most effective for the various circumstances. Differences in the frequencies of first choice responses within the demographic categories were also interpreted to be significant by the chi-square test.

Show moreIn 1993, a group of unionized bedside nurses took control of their state nursing association. In 1995, they disenfranchised themselves from the American Nurses Association, which historically had billed itself as - THE voice of the profession of nursing. This study utilizes a case study format to look at who they are, what their intentions are, and what their vision is for the future of the profession. Twenty questions were submitted to key participants identified by the California Nurses Association (CNA). The questions were organized into three main areas: the period leading up to the disenfranchisement, the period of growth after the takeover up until the historic passage of the ratio laws and whistle blower protection, and the period after the passage of the laws wherein the association began a national movement. This movement continues to evolve, and in December, 2009, the CNA (now the National Nurses United) became the largest nursing organization in the country. As the title of the study implies, one intention of the study is to look at the implications for the profession of nursing and the inevitable political implications for the national healthcare debate. Another purpose is to introduce this group to the academic and professional nursing communities, which until now have largely ignored them. Still another purpose is to lay out a blueprint for other state nursing associations who may wish to empower themselves, to analyze the process by which this group has grown to political prominence. No other nursing association has been able to duplicate their political success. Finally, the study raises many crucial questions which nursing academics and nursing leaders must address if nursing is going to able to utilize our only real political power, the power of numbers. Uniting the field, or at least growing the association to significant numerical strength, is the only way nursing can become an equal partner in the national healthcare debate.

The most prominent of these groups was the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, which tried to mend the break in US-Cuban diplomatic relations. The very active Tampa chapter existed in a city with a large Cuban-American and emigre population. It also existed in a Cold War environment, and was viewed similarly to other chapters by government anti-subversives. This organization ceased operations after one of its members was accused of assassinating President Kennedy. The assassination determined its legacy for decades to come. When government records on the Fair Play for Cuba Committee were declassified, the group could again be put into the perspective of the Cold War and Cuba.

Show morePacifists have traditionally been treated harshly in the United States. Numerous conscientious objectors were imprisoned during the First World War. Civilian Public Service was established in the course of World War II by the government and the historic peace churches to provide suitable alternative work for men conscientiously opposed to martial violence. Encampments were created at sites all across the country for these persons under this program. Great resentment arose in some of the facilities against the federal authorities over several controversial issues. The American Friends Service Committee organized a hookworm eradication project near Orlando, Florida. This particular unit was unusual in many ways. It continued to function smoothly despite the widespread bitterness evident throughout the system. The men stationed at this camp made a determined effort to contribute something of value to the local community. Although strongly opposed by various citizens, these objectors gained enormous satisfaction from their endeavor.
