Global Dimensions of the 涩里番下载 Lynch School of Education and Human Development: Analysis of a Faculty Survey聽
Ariane de Gayardon and Hans de Wit

Sage Advice: International Advisory Councils聽at Tertiary Education Institutions聽
Ariane de Gayardon and Hans de WiPhilip G. Altbach, Georgiana Mihut, and Jamil Salmi
International advisory councils (IAC) have been established by many tertiary education institutions (TEI) worldwide as a response to globalization and in an effort to obtain expert advice from prominent academics and university leaders. These councils assist TEIs with institutional self-evaluation, research foci, internationalization and global positioning, and many other strategic concerns. This paper reports on the findings of what we believe is a first-ever comparative examination of the IAC phenomenon. The study advances a typology of IACs, offers suggestions on how the activity of IACs can be improved, and provides useful considerations for the creation of new IAC structures. Given the increasing importance of IACs for university development in many different contexts,聽Sage Advice聽will be useful to tertiary education institutions planning to establish IACs or seeking new insights into the best ways to organize and make use of this valuable resource.
