The second edition of Organizational Theory in Higher Education is
a comprehensive and accessible treatment of organizational theory
and higher education administration. Noted scholar Kathleen Manning
offers a fresh take on the models and lenses through which higher
education can be viewed by presenting a full range of
organizational theories, from traditional to current. Chapters
discuss the disciplinary foundation, structure, metaphor,
assumptions, characteristics, and other elements of each
organizational theory and conclude with cases highlighting
practical applications. Questions for discussion are provided at
the end of each chapter and embedded in the cases to assist the
reader in making connections to their practice. Manning's rich,
interdisciplinary treatment enables readers to gain a full
understanding of the perspectives that operate on a college campus
and ways to adopt effective practice in the context of new and
continuing tensions, contexts, and challenges. New to this Edition:
revised chapters with updated material and new references that
reflect current higher education issues including climate change; a
new chapter on Institutional Theory, an expanded Feminist and
Gendered chapter, and an enhanced Spirituality chapter; new cases
throughout to address contemporary issues, and a broader range of
institutional types including Historically Black and
Hispanic-Serving institutions and 2-year institutions; additional
theoretical topics including critical race theory, queer theory,
and contemplative practices; updated and enhanced questions for
discussion and recommended readings.

College students and graduates have fond memories of campus
events such as commencement, founder's days, convocations, and
baccalaureate. These events, defined as rites of passage, secular
ceremonies, or cultural performances, create a special feel to a
campus remembered for years to come. Borrowing from interpretive
anthropology, the author spotlights the following ideas: culture is
revealed and forms of life are expressed through the actions and
words of community members; human communities are dynamic, complex,
and ever-changing environments revealed though analysis of cultural
events; and commonplace rituals and ceremonies play a central role
in the cultural work of human meaning. The purpose of the book is
to explore campus culture as revealed through rituals and
ceremonies.
While rituals are unique to each campus, this book discusses
higher education ceremonies and traditions and offers explanations
about the roles they play in building and maintaining campus
culture. Dr. Manning combines educational research methodology,
higher education and anthropological theory to vividly describe
college rituals. In a readable fashion, case studies describing the
rituals are interspersed between chapters discussing the theory of
rituals. The cases include convocation, presidential inauguration,
junior show, charter day, founder's birthday celebration,
baccalaureate, and laurel chain and alumnae parade.
In the second edition of this influential book, leading scholars
Kathleen Manning, Jillian Kinzie, and John H. Schuh advocate an

Does Not Fit All explores a variety of policies, practices, and
programs that contribute to increased student engagement, success,
and learning. This book is a must read for all higher education
administrators and student affairs professionals. New to this
Revised Edition: Refinement of models in light of recent NSSE data
and current developments in higher education, including budget cuts
and the economic crisis, Updated information throughout about model
assessment and techniques to renew divisions of student affairs, A
deeper analysis of how models of student affairs practice relate to
institutional mission and purposes, End-of-chapter discussion
questions to guide thinking about ways to incorporate models in
one's own context, An entirely new Part IV, including chapters on
"Catalysts and Tools for Change" and "Redesigning Your Student
Affairs Division."

This volume of case studies, based on original qualitative
research, has been written expressly for student affairs educators
and administrators at the college and university level. Giving
Voice to Critical Campus Issues addresses the complex issues of
classism, student suicide, alcohol-related death, acquaintance
rape, multiracial identity, and the self-development of young
adults with alcoholic parents. Practitioners and faculty can use
this crucial book to enrich their understanding of the deep
complexities of campus life; and they will also find themselves
more attuned to the often unheard and/or unacknowledged voices of
young men and women who have both distinctive needs and dynamic
potential. With introductory chapters describing the constructivist
qualitative methodology that underlies each case study, this book
will serve as an excellent text for graduate-level research
classes. It will also be an outstanding resource for undergraduate
leadership and residence life classes, and for training and
seminars aimed at student affairs staff. Co-published with American
College Personnel Association.
