Abstract

This chapter offers a fine-grained examination and explanation of specific actions of organizations and specific behaviors of organizational members (i.e., faculty and administrators). In large part, these actions and behaviors are responses, initially, to formal external policies and to external conditions: accountability and accreditation demands, government funding constraints and government initiatives and legislation, and environmental conditions such as population demographics (e.g., ethnic diversity) and political movements (e.g., Occupy movement).
