This chapter provides an historical portrait of the complex and emergent journey of U.S. higher education with an emphasis on funding and fiscal dynamics. Topics explore the various time periods that have shaped higher education and financial means through state and federal governments, philanthropic donations, and the integration of business and corporate partnerships. The role(s) and goal(s) of the academy have evolved over time as the country expanded and business practices emerged. However, there is no centralized plan for the development or maintenance of U.S. higher education. This chapter traces the rise of higher education, the growth of business and industry, and the shift of governmental oversight and wherewithal. This interplay of funding and finance includes the role of business revenue in the initiation, maintenance, and growth of universities and colleges.

New ways of utilizing technology in the online space are challenging different ways teachers and students can interact with each other and learning content. Social media is one such technology that is a flexible and powerful tool in higher education; however, as yet, it is still under-researched. Twitter challenges notions of public global dialogue, continuous discussions in the online space beyond the four walls of a physical classroom, and the role of peer-to-peer interactions. This chapter discusses a project that aimed to address the need to understand more deeply what happens pedagogically in the classroom when integrating Twitter into learning activities. The case shared is of one undergraduate second-year class located in Teacher Education. The change over time with students' ability to professionally engage with Twitter demonstrated a shift in being able to confidently participate and critically think about this social media as a valuable online learning environment.

Abstract Context.—On-call responsibility is an important part of residency training in clinical pathology. This task provides important consultative services for the hospital and serves as a valuable learning experience for the resident. Objective.—To identify the types of calls received by residents at a large teaching hospital, to assess how and why these calls have changed over time, and to determine the educational value in tracking such changes. Design.—A retrospective review of resident on-call records from 2 periods (2005–2006 and 1997–1998) was performed. Calls were classified based on the call subject and the caller. Results.—Although some general patterns remained similar, several differences were identified between the time periods. Calls regarding mislabeled specimens fell, while calls concerning panic values and the blood bank (specifically therapeutic apheresis) increased. Conclusions.—The different patterns identified in calls between the 2 periods reflect the ever-changing role of the clinical pathologist within the hospital system and provide evidence that monitoring these shifting patterns could be a valuable tool in the education of clinical pathology residents.

Ulterior Motives

Philanthropy is typically defined as a charitable act, a gift, or an organization that dispenses such gifts. Rarely do we think negatively about gifts. However, as the literature in this area tells us, there is much mistrust of philanthropy and those behind it. Some critics have pointed toward the ulterior motives underlying the gifts of philanthropists. Is it really a gift or does it serve the philanthropist more than the recipient? Others have drawn attention to the unethical business practices of the corporations behind the philanthropies. How can “tainted” money promote good? Still others have questioned the amount of control that many philanthropists gain once their benefactors become dependent on them. Are philanthropists giving money just to extend the reach of their power? Despite these criticisms, philanthropy, in the words of Robert Bremner, “has been one of the principal methods of social advance.”

This research determines the impact of some higher education and R+D variables on different entrepreneurship outcomes in the states of Mexico during the period 2007-2017.  By applying panel data analysis tracking the Mexican states over time and specifying an entrepreneurship model, the research shows that these variables affect the entrepreneurial outcomes heterogeneously depending on the type of venture; in particular, higher education and R+D variables are not significant in explaining entrepreneurship in general but most of them are significant in explaining higher education and knowledge based entrepreneurship. These results harmonize with the perspectives suggesting the important role of the higher education and R+D system in supporting entrepreneurship. Nevertheless, the results also underline the lack of relation of entrepreneurship with patents, posing questions on the degree of innovativeness of the ventures and the commercial use of inventions, the unequal distribution of higher education and R+D activities across states and the limited scope of the public policy efforts as to impact overall entrepreneurship.

This study compared how, over time, the centralization of Islamic Higher Education affected educational quality, probity of school management and general levels of and appreciation for knowledge. This research involved comparing characteristics of Egyptian Islamic Higher Education at three pivotal points in time: the early medieval period (623-1300s C.E.); the 15th century; and the period of British and French colonization (the 19th and 20th centuries). The logic behind choosing these particular time periods for comparison was that they represented times of significant centralization/decentralization of Egyptian Islamic Higher Education. Upon analysis of the effects of centralization and de-centralization, it has been found that the centralization of Islamic Higher Education in Egypt has had negative effects. It was found that, over time, the centralization of Islamic Higher Education played a central role in decreasing educational quality, increasing corruption, and decreasing general levels of and appreciation for Islamic knowledge.
