Williams, Henry; Feldman, Lori; Conners, Susan
Journal of Academic Administration in Higher Education, v13 n2 p21-30 Fall 2017
This paper compares the pre- and post-impact of a merger of two regional campuses in a statewide university system on its students, faculty, administrative, and professional support staff. Specifically, it looks at stakeholder impacts of the merger of the two Colleges of Business on these regional campuses into one entity. The second year of a two-year study has been completed and the paper compares the results of the pre- and post-merger impact survey. The two surveys are a survey of attitudes and issues regarding the merger. Surveys were designed specifically for the four stakeholder groups with questions uniquely relevant to that stakeholder group. The results in this paper illustrate the evolution of the stakeholder groups toward the merger and the pre- and post-merger responses are evaluated.
