Since the founding of Harvard College, colleges and universities have used many types of examinations to serve multiple purposes. In the early days of student assessment, the process was straightforward. Each institution developed and administered its own unique examination to its own students to monitor their progress and to prospective students who applied for admission. Large-scale standardized tests emerged in the twentieth century in part to relieve the burden placed upon high schools of having to prepare students to meet the examination requirements of each institution to which a student applied. Up to that point, local communities of tutors and teachers were attempting to prepare students to succeed on each higher education institution's unique examination. Large-scale standardized tests have enjoyed more than a century of popularity and growth, and they have helped higher education institutions to solve problems in admissions and placement, and to measure learning outcomes. Over time, they have also become controversial, especially pertaining to race and class. This article is a historical view of educational testing in U.S. higher education, linking its development with past and present societal challenges related to civil rights laws, prominent higher education policies, and the long struggle of African American people in the United States.

This paper presents an analysis of the current state of development of social media policies at institution of higher education. Content analysis of social media policies for all institutions listed in the Carnegie Classification Data File revealed that less than one-quarter of institutions had an accessible social media policy. Analysis was done by institution and campus unit, finding that social media policies were most likely to appear at doctorate-granting institutions and health, athletics, and library units. Policies required that those affiliated with the institution post appropriate content, represent the unit appropriately, and moderate conversations with coworkers and external agencies. This analysis may inform the development and revision of social media policies across the field of higher education, taking into consideration the rapidly changing landscape of social media, issues of academic freedom, and notions of interoperability with policies at the unit and campus levels.

In an effort to identify strategies for strengthening the relationship between state government and public higher education, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) has appointed a Task Force on Making Public Higher Education a State Priority. Comprised of leaders with extensive higher education experience at the campus and state level, as well as in elected office, the task force has sought to: explore the political context within which higher education operates; recommend strategies for establishing a new compact between states and their public colleges and universities; and identify strategies for advancing higher education as a state investment priority. The task force recommends that leaders from state government and public higher education create a new compact built on a foundation of mutual understanding, trust and accountability. With these principles in place, state and campus leaders must craft a shared public agenda that meets state needs, broadens college access, makes college more affordable, improves student outcomes and ensures academic quality. ; American Association of State Colleges and Universities

This article introduces a collection of empirical work that examines the role of state policy in promoting students' progression into and through higher education. We provide an overview of U.S. state policy innovations that have occurred in recent years and we identify both the challenges and opportunities associated with studying public policy and higher education attainment in the states. The article concludes by outlining the perspectives of the articles included in this collection and provides a synopsis of each.

Die Beteiligung von Frauen an Entscheidungsprozessen und damit an (fach-)politischer Macht ist ein wesentliches Element von Geschlechtergerechtigkeit. Das Hochschulrahmengesetz, das Bundesgremienbesetzungsgesetz und die Hochschulgesetze der Länder setzen dafür die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen. In dem Beitrag wird die geschlechterspezifische Besetzung von Entscheidungsgremien an Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen untersucht. Für die Hochschulen werden dabei die Hochschul- und Fakultätsleitungen sowie die Senate und Hochschulräte, für die außerhochschulischen Forschungseinrichtungen die Aufsichtsgremien betrachtet. Analysiert wird die Beteiligung von Frauen im zeitlichen Verlauf sowie differenziert nach Hochschultypen und Bundesländern bzw. nach Forschungsverbünden. Datengrundlage sind die Hochschulstatistik des Statistischen Bundesamtes sowie Erhebungen des CEWS und der GWK und Auswertungen von Daten der HRK.
In Hochschulleitungen sind fast 30 Prozent Frauen tätig, und 21 Prozent der Rektor_innen und Präsident_innen sind Frauen. In den letzten 20 Jahren hat sich der Frauenanteil in den Hochschulleitungen verdreifacht, an der Leitungsspitze vervierfacht. Auch in den Hochschulsenaten, den Hochschulräten sowie den Aufsichtsgremien der außerhochschulischen Forschungseinrichtungen sind rund ein Drittel der Sitze mit Frauen besetzt. Dagegen sind In den Fakultätsleitungen lediglich 18 Prozent der Dekan_innen und 24 Prozent der Prodekan_innen Frauen.

The State of Developmental Education is the first book to provide a thorough, comparative picture of how developmental education is carried out at higher education institutions and investigate how different state-level policies and priorities change the availability, types, and quality of developmental education available

Many public college and university leaders will enter the new decade with some hope and confidence in the policy arena, with the tailwinds of a strong national economy, healthier state budgets and state political environments more conducive to investments in higher education. This report examines the most prominent state higher education policy issues for 2020. This report not only includes topics of longstanding concern to state policymakers but also emerging issues that will be new to the state legislatures. ; American Association of State Colleges and Universities
