Author(s):  
Mary Ann S Dagunan

The study assessed the existing land resources, management practices and resource utilization of the Central Philippines State University reservation in Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental. It is a descriptive research that employed line-plot method for vegetation analysis; point counts, transect walk, cruising method, and mist netting for faunal assessment; secondary data analysis for processing of geospatial information and socio-economic profiles; and, interviews and focused group discussions for sourcing data on land management practices and resource utilization. Significant findings showed that the institution has a very vast area of 4,653 hectares land reservation. but the biological and physical resources therein are under threat because of the presence of settlers who compete for and misuse the land. As a developing institution, the university is expected to need more land area for expansion of physical plant facilities and enterprise development. It is therefore apparent that the university must efficiently use and manage the valuable resources granted by the government in order to become a self-sustaining institution that consistently provides quality instruction, research, extension and production and fosters growth and sustainable development within an ecologically balanced environment and an empowered community in the reservation.

An exploration and analysis of the processes involved in crafting the institution’s strategic plan, identifying its quality assurance policies, documenting its graduates’ performance in government licensure examinations, description of the processes to ensure sustainability of educational programs, and portray the administration’s fund generation and management mechanisms was made in an effort to create a model for quality education in the University of Eastern Philippines, University Town, Northern Samar. It utilized the descriptive-evaluative method of research with a total of 400 respondents composed of students, faculty members, alumni, community residents, and University officials. Qualitative data were taken from respondents’ answers to open-ended questions, which were then validated through interviews.  Quantitative data on the other hand, were taken from both primary data derived from responses to items in the questionnaire, and secondary data on graduates’ performance in professional examinations. It was revealed that most stakeholders were aware of the institution’s strategic plan, although some were not consulted in the crafting of such an important document.  They aver that policies and guidelines are established, implemented, and strictly adhered to by the administration in its daily operations involving faculty, students, staff, fund generation and management, instruction, research, extension, production, faculty development, and student support services. Although graduates performed consistently well in some government examinations, in the years 2009 – 2014 they performed generally below the national average.  Respondents agree that curricular programs must regularly be updated to conform to minimum standards set by the Commission on Higher Education to ensure sustainability of programs.  For students to be globally relevant and competent, respondents agree to the provision of educationally qualified and competent teaching force, state-of-the-art facilities, modern instructional materials and methods, coupled with good governance and cooperation among stakeholders, are the key ingredients of an ideal quality of education in the University of Eastern Philippines.

The Physical Plant Division, as implementing arm of the University, provides support services which include implementation of infrastructure development plan on buildings and support facilities, roads and grounds, campus amenities among others. The study focused on the level of program implementation of the Physical Plant Division in terms of infrastructure development as perceived by the different groups of stakeholders and how it affects the delivery of quality education in rela­tion to instruction, research and extension. The study used the descriptive method conducted at Mindanao State University, Marawi City, Philippines, comprising 559 administrators, faculty, staff and students. The data were analysed and interpreted through weighted means, multiple linear regression analysis and F-test. The study found out that quality education in its trilogy function: instruction, research and extension, declined through the years as perceived by the respondents and supported by records. Perception level on program implementation of the Physical Plant Divi­sion differed, and found to be moderately effective due to lack of administrative support, continuous decline in budget allocation, and low political will to imple­ment the desired programs. The study concluded that there is a significant relation­ship between program implementation of the Physical Plant Division and quality of education of the University.Keywords: Quality and excellence, educational services, program implementation

The article offers a review on the history of Slavic studies at St. Petersburg and Greifswald universities from the era of Peter the Great to present day. The role of Professor Lyudmila Verbitskaya is highlighted who always actively supported the activities of the Department of Slavic Philology (for example, she approved the initiative to create a department of Ukrainian studies in the early 2000s). Thanks Verbitskaya, St. Petersburg University was historically recognized as the first university in Russia founded by Peter the Great in 1724, which was proven by archival materials stored in Greifswald. Peter the Great, in the assembly hall of the University of Greifswald in September 1712, at a meeting of the Academic Council received a proposal from the President of the German Academy of Sciences Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz on the establishment of a university in St. Petersburg with a European status. The status of the first university was officially recognized by a decree of the Government of the Russian Fed- eration in 1999 when the 275th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg State University was celebrated. As the Rector of St. Petersburg University, Verbitskaya in 2006 concluded an inter-university agreement with the Rector of the University of Greifswald Professor Jürgen Kohler. Slavic scholars and professors from St. Petersburg and Greifswald Universities collaborate closely. One of the active pedagogical and scientific areas of such cooperation is Slavic studies, which have long combined the efforts of Russian and German philologists.

Community participation in rural development is no longer a new terminology in the development lexicon of developing countries. In most developing nations, there exist a great disparity between the rural and the urban centres in terms of socio-economic development. Central Ejagham, an enclaved community in Manyu Division of southwestern Cameroon has, over the years, been faced with a number of development challenges. In response to this, and inline with the government of Cameroon’s policy of supporting self-reliant development, the community engaged in a series of self-defined community development activities in a multiplicity of sectors, on the bases of locally identified abilities and resources. This paper adopts qualitative methods such as interviews, focus group discussions, detailed field observations which were complemented by secondary data sources and content analysis to examine the barriers and indigenous efforts towards enhancing community participation in Central Ejagham. We observe that the level of participation in a majority of the projects falls either within the “tokenism” or the “citizen control” rungs of Sherry Arnstein’s Ladder of Citizen Participation. In addition, although “tokenism” rung projects in Central Ejagham receive much financial and technical support, although they are saddled with commitment-related challenges. Conversely, projects at the “citizen control” rung are characterized by significant commitment but are hampered by limited (financial and technical)resources. To further enhance community participation, we recommend that projects at the “tokenism” rung which are generally viable in terms of financial and technical capacity be stepped up to the “citizen control” level, inorder to guarantee maximum participation for better results. In addition, we suggest that the legislative arm of the government should introduce a bill on the need to effectively support community developmental efforts. This. We believe, will make “citizen control” rung projects to become more effective. Finally, a platform to guarantee the sustainability of projects and to ensure the adequate dissemination of information on sourcing for external funding to support projects should be introduced.

This research conducted in August-September 2005 under supervision by Lembaga Penelitian UIN Sunan Kalijaga. The main objective was to accelerate the transformation of IAIN to UIN Sunan Kalijaga in the management area. Why management? Because although successful universities are successful primarily because of their teaching and research not because of their management, good management can over time provide the conditions in which teaching and research can flourish, just as, more usually, poor management can undermine teaching and research and precipitate institutional decline. Lecturer as the main actor of teaching and research in universities has a unique characteristic compared to any kind of human resources. Its job descriptions range from serve college student by teaching, serve the scientific world by writing and research, serve institutions by administrative work, to another kind of job descriptions as a social worker who has to serve and develop the community. With those kinds of characteristics, the university has to design special human resource management, we called it Talent Management. A combination of the direct and indirect interview was used to collect primary data. Populations for this research were university and faculty leader or manager who have the authority to design policy about the lecturer. Samples were taken by using proportional consideration: university management consists of the rector and deputy rector II and faculty management consist of the dean of Dakwah, Syari'ah, and Adab and four chiefs of the study program. This research also conducted observations in daily lecturer management practices. Secondary data were compiled from the university’s document, homepages, and faculty’s document.

Based on CHEd Memorandum Order No. 79, series of 2017, the Bachelor of Technical Vocational Teacher Education (BTVTEd) Major in Computer Hardware Servicing program is designed to enhance the knowledge, desirable values and skills of computer service technicians in accordance with industry standards. This mixed design research sought to determine the feasibility of offering this program in Sorsogon State University - Bulan Campus (SorSU-BC). It was found that the offering of the program is highly necessary and can expect a moderate sufficiency of enrolees. The program will also provide significant benefits to the different domains of the society such as the government, the community, the business industries and the students. The offering of the program is also highly sustainable in terms of enrolment, faculty, competition and facilities. It is also consistent with the vision and mission of the university and adheres to the pertinent legal foundations. Generally, faculty requirements are complied with but there is a need to hire faculty members with master’s degree in technology education or its equivalent. The laboratories and physical facilities required for the offering of the program are already available considering the existence of the IT-education and teacher-education programs. Therefore, the offering of BTVTEd major in Computer Hardware Servicing is found to be feasible. It is recommended for SorSU Bulan Campus to craft a program curriculum for BTVTEd Computer Hardware Servicing so that it can be offered in the university with the approval of the Commission on Higher Education.

Purpose Mergers in higher education seem to be more common as academic institutions work to control costs and avoid program duplications in challenging economic times and adopt the more common cost saving measures often espoused from business mergers. The purpose of this paper is to highlight successes from a complementarity-based merger of two institutions in the University System of Georgia (USG) and present results over time. Design/methodology/approach A case study methodology was employed to explain why a particular merger resulted in greater growth compared to other system-wide academic mergers. This research focuses on a single merger of two institutions in Georgia, one of seven such mergers in the USG institutions to date, involving Gainesville State College and North Georgia College and State University to become the University of North Georgia. Observations are made and complimented by secondary data to rank growth among the seven USG consolidations. Findings The case findings highlight the success from the complementarity of these institutions. While the two were unique institutions, the success of the merger was linked to the underlying complementarity issues. Originality/value Using the strategic issues inherent in mergers from the business literature, the merger of the two institutions is profiled and discussion and recommendations are provided along with areas for future research.

There are many electron microscope centers around the world and it is well recognized that there is no single “right” way to develop successful research and teaching electron microscope organizations.The model for this discussion is that of the Center for High Resolution Electron Microscopy (CHREM) at Arizona State University. Several factors, including but not limited to those discussed below, have contributed to the continuing growth and development of this Center.The Center serves students and faculty from eight separate academic units. It is also accessible to a significant number of microscope users from outside the university. These include researchers from industry as well as other academic institutions. The number of active instrument users typically averages eighty per year. There are ten instruments available to those who successfully complete the requirements for microscope use. It is not necessary to discuss the physical plant which houses the Center's instruments. Although very important, this topic has been adequately discussed elsewhere by experienced researchers.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is a span-new pneumonia that is known to initially wide-spread from Wuhan city, the capital of Hubei Province, in the Mainland of China. This virus promptly dispersed around the world. In Indonesia, the first infection case took place in Depok, at the beginning of March of 2020. As a recent virus, Covid-19 did not yet have its antidote. The government rapidly acted on by implementing lockdown, as well as system preparation in order to get people working from home, as school and university students also learn from home. This policy was performed to cut the spread of Covid-19 virus. Various restrictions to limit social interaction has been highly impacting Indonesian citizen within the daily life. The restriction of direct interaction has also predisposed the implementation of tasks within the university setting. Diponegoro University-as an incorporated state university- follows the government regulation when it comes to proceed its tasks. Nearly all activities of the affected universities, namely administration service, assembly, learning service, research, and community service had changed due to the requirement to apply the health protocol. This paper focuses on how Diponegoro University confronted the Covid-19 pandemic, and how this college maintain its performance.
