Career lines of various administrative positions have been studied; however, the literature has been deficient with regard to the study of careers of institutional researchers. In order to provide a better understanding of the careers of institutional researchers, the roles of the researcher and the organizational structure and location of the office were studied. There is a gap in the literature as to the organizational structure and location of the office and the influences this has upon the roles the researcher is assigned. The purpose of this study was threefold. The first purpose was to examine the careers of institutional researchers for determination as to what positions encompass the careers of researchers and whether or not career lines exist. The second purpose was to further define the roles assigned to the researcher and to determine the amount of responsibility for those roles. The third purpose was to ascertain the influences the structure and location of the office has on the roles assigned. The subjects for this study included persons holding institutional researcher positions at 359 regionally accredited, public, two-year, associate degree-granting institutions from the states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. In examining the career lines and career goals of the researcher, the findings indicated that while researchers hold many positions, there are a few emerging career lines that exist. However, these emerging lines are in the form of boundaries such as administrative ser\ ices and academic affairs instead of specific positions. Those researchers with future career goals will most often be seeking new positions in a new administrative area in two-year institutions within the next one to five years. Upon examination of the amount of responsibility for the various roles of the institutional researcher, it was determined that over 65% of the roles were the responsibility of the institutional researcher only. Additionally, 31%) of the roles were deemed as decentralized or shared functions with other offices on college and university campuses. Slight differences exist in the amount of responsibility the respondents have for the roles assigned. However, to whom a researcher reports, the location of the office within the organization, and the size of the staff of the research office do not significantly influence the amount of responsibility the researcher has for the various identified roles.Item Characteristics of an effective public relations program for junior colleges(Texas Tech University, 1957-06) Fly, Murry Henderson,Not availableItem Item Faculty involvement in policy formulation in the public junior college.(Texas Tech University, 1963-07) Tunnell, James WesleyNot availableItem Kermanshah junior college(1969-12) Omid, ShapoorItem The origins of six two-year colleges founded in Texas in 1946(Texas Tech University, 1995-12) Rutherford, William MarkIn 1946, six two-year colleges were founded and opened in Texas: Howard County Junior College in Big Spring, Wharton County Junior College in Wharton, Henderson County Junior College in Athens, Navarro Junior College in Corsicana, Southwest Texas Junior College in Uvalde, and Odessa Junior College in Odessa. This study on the origins of these institutions was guided by four research question: (1) What factors led to the founding of the institutions? (2) What commonality exists in the origins of the six institutions? (3) What unique circumstances distinguish the histories of these colleges from each other? (4) To what extent was the founding of these colleges influenced by national legislation, e.g., the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 (G. I. Bill)? This study concludes that the six colleges were the product primarily of two unrelated factors. The first was the lack of supervision of two-year colleges in Texas. In the 1940s, the two-year colleges were not regulated either as four-year colleges or public school systems. Thus, these institutions operated, to some degree, beyond the purview of state education agencies. In addition, the few statutes regarding the organization of new two-year colleges were generally overlooked by state authorities. Therefore, the founding of these institutions was almost entirely a local matter. The second factor that contributed to the establishment of these colleges was the G. I. Bill. This national legislation did more than provide the means for millions of veterans to attend colleges throughout the nation. In the case of this study, it also provided the founding parties with the political reasons and financial resources to open these colleges in rather remote regions.Item "Vocational and technical" junior college(1967-01) Zanchettin, Otello V.
