Book Description
"Locus of Authority argues that every issue facing today's colleges and universities, from stagnant degree completion rates to worrisome cost increases, is exacerbated by a century-old system of governance that desperately requires change. While prior studies have focused on boards of trustees and presidents, few have looked at the place of faculty within the governance system. Specifically addressing faculty roles in this structure, William G. Bowen and Eugene M. Tobin ask: do higher education institutions have what it takes to reform effectively from within? Bowen and Tobin use case studies of four very different institutions--the University of California, Princeton University, Macalester College, and the City University of New York--to demonstrate that college and university governance has capably adjusted to the necessities of the moment and that governance norms and policies should be assessed in the context of historical events. The authors examine how faculty roles have evolved since colonial days to drive change but also to stand in the way of it. Bowen and Tobin make the case that successful reform depends on the artful consideration of technological, financial, and cultural developments, such as the explosion in online learning. Stressing that they do not want to diminish faculty roles but to facilitate their most useful contributions, Bowen and Tobin explore whether departments remain the best ways through which to organize decision making and if the concepts of academic freedom and shared governance need to be sharpened and redefined. Locus of Authority shows that the consequences of not addressing college and university governance are more than the nation can afford"--

Book Description
Systemic bank restructuring must be the responsibility of one government authority only, with other authorities providing support and analytical help. The restructuring authority, whose tasks are enumerated and discussed, should preferably be a separate and temporary agency reporting to the finance ministry. Other solutions are possible but not recommended. Parliament should be involved in setting priorities and supervising the process, but political interference in restructuring operations should be avoided. Practical issues to consider include ensuring efficient cooperation between authorities; the arrangement of problem asset workout and recovery; and restructuring of politically sensitive enterprises.

Book Description
To be his third publication to the Christendom, this book addresses the individual man, a topic badly needing to be addressed. No one has taken the time to explore the various roles of man as he moves up in Gods hierarchy. But this book begins that trend to look at whats man failures are due to his roles. The failure to apply the roles to ones life will cause a breakdown in the individual, his marriage, his family, and his church. All four of these entities are connected by the common thread, role. We talk about the roles of actors and actresses, but never about the roles of man that God had assigned him. If we as men will do the basic roles of man, our homes, employments, societies, and churches would be a better place fostering love, faith, and hope. Moreover, this book on the roles of man precedes his next two books on The Roles of the Woman and The Roles of the Child. The womans and the childs roles are meaningless if the mans roles are not in place. The author hopes to share with you the roles he as a man have found to be very beneficial and a must in all mens lives.
