Abstract:

The proper implementation of an appraisal system in an educational institution could enhance the growth and development of its faculty members, which will positively reflect on the whole institution. This study aims at laying the ground for a better appraisal practice at the Lebanese American University (LAU). The study also attempts to identify trends and areas for further development, and to provide consolidated practical advice for universities in Lebanon. 80 faculty members filled semi-structured questionnaires at the Lebanese American University. Furthermore, 40 faculty members were inter

Abstract:

There is a general consensus around the kinds of jobs graduates might be expected to progress into once they complete their university education.

However, there is very little research exploring graduates’ work post-graduation, and that which there is tends to focus on skill utilisation or the demand for, and deployment of, graduate skills in the labour

This thesis investigates economies of scale and scope in higher education. In a period of tighter budget constraints, declining government funding, and increasing competition for students, staff and non-commercial and commercial research funding, understanding the nature of any scale and scope economies in higher education is critically important for both policy change and ongoing institutional and structural reform.
