One of the possible reasons for a decline in transfer enrollment is institutional policy on granting credit for transfer courses. Currently, Apex does not grant credit toward a student’s major for courses taken at other colleges. Based on your review of the literature, you have decided that this is the most plausible explanation for the decline in transfer enrollment at Apex.
Knowing that faculty "own" the curriculum at Apex, you trace this policy back to the academic departments. Your previous experience with the college of liberal arts and sciences has convinced you that the academic departments at Apex function in a very anarchical way.
For this assignment, use your knowledge of the anarchical model to explore the faculty’s interest/involvement in transfer policy. Describe how you might frame the issue to gain their attention, and incorporate the following concepts into your response:
Diffuse goals
Unclear technology
Fluid participation
Organizational learning
"Streams" within the academic departments (problems, solutions, participants, decision making)
Effective leadership
