Fifteen student affairs administrators from five institutions of higher education in New Orleans were interviewed regarding their experiences immediately before and after Hurricane Katrina and how the crisis affected their work. Participants were chosen for their diversity among racial, gender, and institutional contexts. Analyses of the interviews resulted in four themes that describe the differences between how public versus private institutional cultures affected these administrators’ responses and the decision making that occurred in the wake of the storm. These themes include (a) decision making, (b) communication, (c) resources and limitations, and (d) student affairs status. Implications for policy, practice, and research are included.

Academician can be considered as internal customers of any educational institute and students can be considered as their external customers. Higher satisfaction level of internal customer will in turn result in higher satisfaction of external customer. This higher satisfied external customer are students with better understanding and broader vision. Alternatively, unsatisfied internal customer means academician who are not satisfied with their profession or life. Hence, the teaching-learning process will be hampered as an unsatisfied academician will fail to give his/her 100 percent in the process. Satisfaction can be achieved, if the academician have a better work-life balance. Work-life balance can be defined as satisfaction and good functioning at work and at home with a minimum role conflict. On this backdrop, the present research paper is an attempt to find satisfaction level of internal customer in higher education i.e. academician in Jharkhand with the help of Satisfaction with life scale model of Diener, Emmons, Larsen & Griffon (1985).

This chapter examines representation of women and minorities in 21st century higher education with regard to how the online learning culture serves diverse students. Over the past two decades, faculty and student representation by women and minorities has increased, while online learning has also grown exponentially, becoming almost ubiquitous in its reach and scope. Even with differences across institutions (public versus private, size of the university, and populations served), the online learning environment has a seemingly agreed-upon set of rules, standards, and practices. Arguably, online learning has a distinct culture, which can thus be viewed through the lens of Vygotskyian sociocultural theory. While online learning may have some perceived downsides, a potential benefit is that the nature of the technology and the agreed-upon culture of 21st century online learning across institutions may serve to mask and inhibit implicit bias and thus level the playing field for women and minority students and faculty in higher education.
