Pryor, Kim Nelson; Barringer, Sondra N. – Innovative Higher Education, 2022
Academic structure shapes and reflects institutional behaviors as well as the work done in, and outputs of, higher education organizations (HEOs).

We thus lack an understanding…

Reybold, L. Earle; Halx, Mark D. – Innovative Higher Education, 2018
Scholarship about ethics in higher education often focuses on wrongdoing: cheating, incivility, and a host of other misdeeds. We focus, instead, on ethicality as the enactment of integrity across everyday work life. This approach is particularly true in student affairs where administrators, faculty members, staff members, and students intersect…

Clark, Steven C.; Griffin, Rick A.; Martin, Cameron K. – Innovative Higher Education, 2012
Institutional policies and policy systems are vital to the well-being of institutions of higher education.

We refer to the discrepancy between the importance of…

While growing literatures on the entrepreneurial…
