As government financial support declines and costs continue to rise, colleges have grown more dependent on generous donors to build new facilities, attract star faculty members and students, and start programs.
Diverse Issues in Higher Education
July 2, 2010
Diversity isn’t recession proof, and higher education and corporate officials agreed that institutions of all types must be proactive to prevent the faltering economy from overly impacting one or more underrepresented groups.
Boston Herald (AP)

The University of Massachusetts Law School is attracting more students with more impressive academic credentials than it did when it was still a private institution. The school, approved in February by the state Board of Higher Education after the Southern New England School of Law offered to donate its campus and assets, received 462 applicants for this fall’s incoming class. That’s more than twice the number who applied last year.

A new national survey of academic employees by the TIAA-CREF Institute has found generally high levels of confidence by academic employees in their financial plans for retirement. The survey compares higher education employees to all other employees in the United States, and finds much more security on these issues within academe than outside.

Over just three decades, the proportion of college instructors who are tenured or on the tenure track plummeted: from 57 percent in 1975 to 31 percent in 2007. The new report is expected to show that that proportion fell even further in 2009, dropping below one-third. If you add graduate teaching assistants to the mix, those with some kind of tenure status represent a mere quarter of all instructors.
