- Academic
Program Development in the Context of Workplace Shortages
(6/2002)
Recent reports have highlighted shortages of workers in
a variety of areas, such as teacher education, engineering,
dentistry, pharmacy, and information technology. Shortages
in specific areas often are the result of short-term economic
conditions and the working conditions of a particular profession,
e.g., teaching and nursing. This report places the shortage
issue in the context of important changes in demographics
and changes in workplace structure.
- Review
of Program Approval Statutes: The Private College Act and
the Academic Degree Act
(2/2002)
This three-part item addresses the effectiveness of current
approval processes for Illinois private colleges and explores
the feasibility of several strategies for strengthening
these processes to assure the highest quality degree programs
for the citizens of Illinois. Part I presents a brief history
and summary of the regulatory statutes governing approval
of private colleges and universities in Illinois. Part II
explores the scope of existing authority and identifies
strengths and weaknesses of Illinois' regulatory system
for private sector degree-granting activity. Part III explores
the feasibility of three identified strategies for strengthening
Illinois' regulatory system. Although Illinois statutes
do not reach all institutions serving Illinois residents,
these statutes remain some of the strongest in the nation.
Given sufficient personnel and budgetary support, current
statutes can better assure program quality among institutions
located within the state and subject to Illinois approval
statutes. Problems posed by Internet-based institutions
that offer substandard degrees are unlikely to be solved
by amendments to state statutes.
