Project that requires you to act in the role of a higher education leadership

Instructions Resolve an Issue in Higher Education

For this assignment, construct a capstone project that requires you to act in the role of a higher education leadership/management consultant. Your project should analyze a current issue in higher education within the context of integrating frames for effective practice. Research a current issue in higher education, and then relate the effective reframing characteristics that would apply if you were developing an effective governance model.

Your presentation (in the form of an executive summary paper and accompanying PowerPoint presentation) should also include a summary of the current higher education issue chosen, and details that explain how it influences the higher education institution for which you are acting in the role of leadership/management consultant.

Analyze the institution’s challenges and the concerns they pose in terms of identifying viable solutions. Perspectives can include those of various stakeholders (students, faculty, staff, administrators, etc.) as well as the campus climate, tradition, and culture of the institution.

Finally, discuss the position you, as a leader of the institution, would take in solving this issue through reframing and why. Provide evidence from the course readings and theories to support your position. Be sure this information includes an analysis of the institution’s competing interests (structural, human resource, symbolic, and political), as well as details concerning how those interests would interact.

Your paper must also demonstrate your understanding of the current higher education issue within the context of the higher education governance theories and diverse models presented in this course.
Executive summary length: 2 pages.
Presentation length: 13 slides, with a separate reference slide.
Notes: 150-200 words per slide.

The ethical justification for developing and providing the means to reduce the burden of disease in developing countries is self-evident. Nevertheless, those who pursue these laudable ends encounter ethical dilemmas at every turn. The development of new interventions requires testing with human subjects, an activity fraught with controversy since the dawn of scientific medicine and especially problematic with poor and vulnerable participants in developing countries.
