| Description: |
This overview describes, in lay language, the essential concepts and analytical approaches that college and university administrators must understand to make the most of comparative information. The authors draw on both theoretical expertise and extensive practical experience to provide a cogent introduction to the uses of comparative data. This book: • Elucidates sound principles for the development of peer groups. • Explains the strengths and weaknesses of the analysis methods used today. • Describes the kinds of institutional, state-level, and national data that are available for comparative purposes. The authors describe clearly which steps administrators can take to ensure that the right data are gathered for the right decision, that the comparative analysis is properly conducted, and that everyone involved understands the true significance of the analysis. Compact and notably free of technical tangles, Comparative Data for Administrators in Higher Education offers the most comprehensive treatment of its subject available in one book. |
