    Abstract
    Amid declining state funding, do public universities seek alternative revenue streams to keep tuition and fees down? Is such diversification only a public university phenomenon? If both private and public schools are seeking new sources of revenue, then state appropriations may not be the impetus. Instead, institutional characteristics may have a greater influence. In addition, would those higher education institutions (HEIs) with a greater propensity to generate alternative revenue have a greater rate of survival? I examine HEIs by sector using the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) from fiscal years 2003–2004 through 2016–2017 and provide future researchers with guidance on its use. Controlling for different states’ policies, politics, and fiscal health, I find that institutional characteristics influence certain HEIs to seek alternative revenue streams and that these characteristics often strengthen the relationship between state appropriations and alternative revenue sources. Furthermore, the findings suggest that generating alternative revenue, as I define it, may play a role in the survival of HEIs.

      THE EVOLUTION OF INSTITUTIONAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES AT URBAN UNIVERSITIES FROM URBAN SERVING TO INSTITUTIONAL-FOCUSED IN A GLOBALIZING WORLD: A STUDY IN ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY

      Rosan, Christina; Adams, Carolyn Teich; Cucchiara, Maia Bloomfield; Shorr, Lori (Temple University. Libraries, 2018)
      Universities have immense impact on their communities as well as their local and regional economies. The role of public urban universities has changed significantly in recent decades as they seek to extend their influence beyond their adjacent communities with the intention of achieving recognition from regional, national, and international audiences through strong public relations marketing and rankings. Understanding the widening scope and mission of modern institutions is essential to explain their approach to urban planning and partnership-building in their local communities. One example of this is the attempted partnership between the City of Atlantic City and a public New Jersey University to establish a branch campus in an urban center experiencing extreme financial distress. Fraught with conflict, the high-stakes negotiating process to create a new campus involved multiple stakeholders, each with a strong need to secure benefits from one of the few opportunities on the horizon to rebuild the city's shrinking economy. The project occurred amidst a state government takeover that limited the city's ability to represent the interest of its population. This dissertation provides an in-depth study of that negotiating process based on first-hand participation and interviews with different stakeholder groups to gain an understanding of the motives, reasoning and challenging outcomes of this project as a window into the role of modern anchor institutions. It identifies the goals, interests, and strategies of the negotiating parties, exploring how the university conceives its role as an anchor institution within a globalizing world.

      Ethnicity and Faith in American Judaism: Reconstructionism as Ideology and Institution, 1935-1959

      Berman, Lila Corwin, 1976-; Watt, David Harrington; Alpert, Rebecca T. (Rebecca Trachtenberg), 1950-; Moore, Deborah Dash, 1946- (Temple University. Libraries, 2010)
      This dissertation addresses the development of the movement of Reconstructionist Judaism in the period between 1935 and 1959 through an examination of ideological writings and institution-building efforts. It focuses on Reconstructionist rhetorical strategies, their efforts to establish a liberal basis of religious authority, and theories of cultural production. It argues that Reconstructionist ideologues helped to create a concept of ethnicity for Jews and non-Jews alike that was distinct both from earlier "racial" constructions or strictly religious understandings of modern Jewish identity.

      Katharine Drexel: Educational Reformer and Institution Builder

      Cutler, William W.; Jenkins, Wilbert L., 1953-; Woyshner, Christine A.; McGuinness, Margaret M. (Temple University. Libraries, 2012)
      Amidst the racial animosity that characterized the nineteenth century, Katharine Drexel, the Philadelphia heiress, believed that education would be the equalizer between white and black America. Grounded in a strong sense of Catholic social justice, Drexel committed her fortune to providing educational opportunities that frequently eluded African Americans. She established a community of Roman Catholics nuns for that specific purpose. By combining their efforts to address the deficiencies in African American education, Drexel's religious congregation reflected the efforts of other nineteenth century groups of women who pooled their efforts to address social concerns of the larger American society.
