Any strategy proposed to overcome impediments should have implicit or explicit answers to questions such as these. There should also be explicit acknowledgment of institutional issues associated with efforts to foster innovation in higher education, such as those discussed in a recent issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education [3]:
Richard K. Boyer: âItâs not uncommon to see a âsiloâ mentality where thereâs little incentive, let alone reward, to work outside oneâs immediate department.â
José Cruz: âLeaders need to emphasize that efforts to improve student success are not about lowering standards and expectations, but rather about high expectations coupled with high levels of support. And they need to validate and replicate success by investing in the institutionalization of proven initiatives.â
Susan Herbst: âWhat faculty hateârightfully soâis change they donât understand orâ¦that is out of their control.â
Anne-Marie Nuñez: âWhenâ¦experiments are coupled with careful collection and analysis of data (including studying financial aid thresholds and tracking studentsâ experiences in college), institutions can adjust their policies and deploy their resources to serve more diverse students.â
Robert Samuels: âThe biggest thing blocking true innovation in higher education is that there is no shared understanding of how to judge and monitor instructional quality.â
