This volume reviews the trends in professional continuing education, including the major players - professional associations, commercial vendors, proprietary schools, not-for-profit organizations, and more - partnerships between the academy and employers, and what makes continuing education programs successful. The professional continuing education market in the United States continues to grow. U.S. employers spent more than $51 billion annually on employee training in the 1990s. This monograph reviews the recent literature and focuses on the reasons for the huge expansion of the professional continuing education market: competitive world economies that are technology-driven; the modern citizen who has family and job demands; the constantly evolving technology that affects both work and learning; and the world of higher education that is poised to participate in the community and, in turn, generate additional revenues. This is volume 32, number 2, of the ASHE Higher Education Report, a bi-monthly journal published by Jossey-Bass.

Ethnic and Racial Administrative Diversity
by AEHE, Jerlando F. L. Jackson, and Elizabeth M. O'Callaghan
Published 18 November 2009
Many colleges and universities in the United States experience challenges associated with achieving ethnic and racial administrative diversity at their institutions. Surmounting these challenges is imperative, as student bodies at American colleges and universities are rapidly growing more diverse. Colleges and universities need an equally diverse administrative staff to build and maintain an institutional culture and climate that supports one aspect of the American dream--a college eduction. This monograph is designed to help policymakers, administrators, faculty,researchers, and governing boards to better understand the work life realities and experiences for administrators of color to enhance leadership possibilities for people of color in higher education. This is the third issue in the 35th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph in the series is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education problem, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey.
Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Book 151
Contemporary American colleges are increasingly queer places, where significant steps toward inclusion of BGLT students have been made. Tracing the journey of BGLT students' emergence, which parallels the modern gay rights movement in America, this monograph provides an overview of data and theory derived from studying BGLT students and student movements in higher education. Offering context for the ways that previously marginalized students in higher education survive and thrive, this issue: * Tells the story of their growing visibility on campus * Summarizes collective knowledge to date about BGLT identity development * Takes stock of transgender students' distinctive position and experiences in higher education * Assesses the role of the BGLT campus resource center in supporting students and advancing equity. This issue develops a picture of the ways that BGLT community activism informs scholarship (and vice versa). In the telling of the movement's stories, these lessons suggest a practice of collaborative transformation for advancing the future of BGLT equality in higher education. This is Volume 37 Issue 4 of the Jossey-Bass publication ASHE Higher Education Report.

The Development of Doctoral Students: Phases of Challenge and Support
by AEHE and Susan K. Gardner
Published 2 April 2009
Doctoral students are education in U.S. institutions of higher education to become tomorrow's educators, researchers, leaders, and innovators. Only a little more than 50 percent of all doctoral students will actually complete the degree, however. Understanding the complexity of the doctoral experience may assist in educating these students and ensuring their success. This monograph presents a model of doctoral student development, viewing the experience as three phases of increasing complexity. Using theories developed from psychology, sociology, and education, the monograph provides an overview of doctoral education in the United States and the sources of challenge and support that characterize the doctoral student's experience and development. This is the sixty issue the 34th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report . Each monograph in the series is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education problem, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey.

This report surveys government and private programs that aim to
encourage the future college enrollment of elementary and secondary
students, especially those from underrepresented groups and the
direct outreach of collegiate academic programs to the lower
schools for the same general purpose. It also presents a brief
review of societal goals of equality for the nation's educational
system. Also included are evaluations for some early intervention
programs and recommAndations for follow-up college and university
administrators.

One of the purposes of this collection is to encourage faculty to
reflect on the learning process and on the influence of their
teaching. Higher education in the United States has been challenged
to improve the learning experiences of students. Given sufficient
support and resources, college and university faculty have the
capability to enhance student learning. The models in this

This monograph is based on the assumption that achieving diversity and educational equity will remain one of higher education's most critical goals as we move into the next millennium. It provides college administrators, faculty members, and students with information that can guide them in improving the climate for diversity on their campus.
"Higher education has always been seen as the curator, creator, and
critic of the basic knowledge of our world. This basic knowledge is
being drastically affected by its rapid transfer through the new
electronic channels. The traditional world of higher education must
either embrace this new virtual world or become less relevant in
the value it adds to society. How effectively institutions link the
tools of technology with their educational vision and mission will
determine their continued success in being a primary source of
education and knowledge for our society. This report on the virtual
campus will help institutions engage in conversation concerning
their part in the virtual world expanding around us."
--from the Foreword by Jonathan D. Fife, former series editor
and director of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Higher Education
Powerful information and instructional technologies have created
the virtual campus for students and teachers everywhere. More than
ever, there is a call for technology to provide expanded
opportunities for learners. This report offers practical
recommAndations for the integration of technology into teaching,
learning, and research.
