The Association for the Study of Higher Education
ASHE EXECUTIVE OFFICE AND DIRECTOR
The Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE)
invites proposals from interested parties to manage and
provide leadership for the ASHE Office, effective January 1,
2004.
ASHE is a scholarly society with approximately 1300 members
dedicated to higher education as a field of study. The
Association promotes collaboration among its members and
others engaged in the study of higher education through
research, conferences, and publications, including its highly
regarded The Review of Higher Education. ASHE values rigorous
scholarly approaches to the study of postsecondary education
and practical applications of systematic inquiry. The
Association's members are committed to diversity in our
programs and membership; we also have enjoyed significant
success in involving doctoral students in the Association's
activities.
The ASHE Office has previously been located at Texas A&M
University and most recently at the University of Missouri-
Columbia. We currently seek proposals for a five-year
contract that will support the following five major
activities:
1. The handling of all ASHE business, management, and
promotional services, including member records,
correspondence, financial management and accountability, and
other corporate and operational services;
2. The planning, coordination, and logistical on-site support
for the Association's annual meeting and other sponsored
programs and events;
3. The infrastructural support for the Board of Directors,
other Association officers, and committee chairs;
4. The development, maintenance and advancement of
communications strategies that will enable ASHE to increase
its outreach, including its impact on policies affecting
higher education; and,
5. The development, maintenance, and advancement of fiscal
strategies, including fund-raising, to enable ASHE to
increase its outreach and impact.
We seek creative proposals from interested parties who desire
to be involved in a premier postsecondary research
association at a critical time in American higher education.
We encourage innovative proposals that utilize new
technologies and we are willing to consider managerial
formats that may differ from previous arrangements. The
proposal may identify a specific individual or individuals
for managerial roles for the ASHE Office. If so, letters of
application or nominations, as well as vitae, should be
included in the proposal. If specific individual(s) are not
identified, then the proposal should include the proposed
process by which they will be determined. Applications from
historically underrepresented groups are especially welcome.
Please check the ASHE website at: www.ashe.missouri.edu for
how the office is currently configured and how it will be
configured from January 1, 2002 until December 31, 2003.
Proposals should be sent to
Dr. Michael B. Paulsen, Professor of Education,
Graduate Studies in Higher Education,
Dept of Educational Leadership, Counseling and Foundations,
348 Bicentennial Education Center,
University of New Orleans,
Lakefront, New Orleans, LA 70148.
We intend to begin the review as soon as possible after
January 1, 2002, so applications and supporting materials
should be received by December 15, 2001. The search and
review will continue until a new institutional arrangement is
settled. However, we intend to announce the award no later
than May 1, 2002 to ensure that the new office will have
proper lead-time for a leadership transition.
