practices in higher education.
Current management strategies - The press to accomplish four
objectives simultaneously increase revenue, reduce expenses,
improve quality, enhance reputation

institution embraces the current leadership thinking richly
documented in leadership literature.
Databased management - learning organization,
Financial management - developing creative strategies
Marketing strategies - from enrollment management to public
relations, from advertising to product development and under the
entrepreneurial philosophy
Planning in higher education - higher education administrators
spend a large part of their workday either planning to plan,
planning, or evaluating their plans.

Principles of effective
higher education
1. The principle of accessibility - physical, economic, and
educational
2. The principle of diverse system - different talents,
people's talents are at different stages of development
3. The principle of institutional autonomy - the universitys
purpose is to think as profoundly as possible on the
society's most puzzling problems, cannot live
indifferently to the suffering and plights of the society.
4. The principle of academic freedom - unrestricted or less
restricted environment to the academics to conduct
their affairs as they are deemed appropriate.

state and institutional leaders who are deeply
appreciative of the inevitability of globalization

Article 2:
DIVERSIFICATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION
ADMINISTRATION: LEADERSHIP PARADIGMS
RECONSIDERED
By Brenda Lloyd-Jones

Aims
This book aims at examining the lack of diversification in
higher education administration and specifically focuses
on the scarcity of women of color in formal, high-level
positions of leadership at predominantly White
Institutions (PWIs) in the United States

Discussion
Theoretical Foundations
Women of Color
Race
Prejudice
Ethnicity

The Importance of Diversification

in Higher Education
Research Reports Underrepresentation of Women of Color
the opportunity to study such women administrators in
numbers and content similar to men is still not available; and
professional organizations in higher education do not
maintain statistical data on women of ethnic groups

Stereotyping: A Significant Impediment to Leadership

a stereotype involves the false assumptions that all members
of a group share the same characteristics.

Leadership Paradigms
Positivistic - objective, shared, generalizable, and
predictable outcomes
Critical Paradigm: Contemporary Orientation - a social
constructivist perspective has provided evidence that
leadership is socially constructed.
Leadership

In the United States, the traditional paradigm of leadership

comprises a masculine and dominant lens that views men as
leaders.

Conclusion
Traditional paradigms present leadership theories that
tend to emphasize cultural assumptions that can limit
access to leadership positions in higher education by
women of color. In contrast, contemporary paradigms
provide more inclusive leadership theories that consider
women of color as contenders for leadership roles.
