What's on the Agenda?
Now that you have explored the Web sites of a number of professional associations and foundations that support the work of higher education professionals, share your findings with your colleagues and determine "what's on the agenda" of these organizations. In your Discussion this week, address the following questions:
Are there common themes that you see running through the issues and topics addressed by several associations?
Are there some associations whose agenda seems to be very different from those of others?
How do the agendas of these organizations overlap with the issues we've been investigating in this course so far? Are the associations working on issues that truly concern the majority of higher education professionals, and is their work likely to provide resources that will help us with our key challenges? Do you see any gaps?
