Scenario: 

Not unlike many universities today, Apex State University is experiencing a serious decline in student enrollment—m ore specifically, in the number of students transferring to Apex. The decline in transfer student enrollment is having a serious impact on overall tuition revenue. A review of systemwide data has convinced the president that the issue deserves further scrutiny. She has asked you, the director of enrollment management, to prepare a position paper detailing transfer policies and procedures. The president is seeking a better understanding of how the process works, who the stakeholders are, where they are within the institution (positions, departments), to whom do they answer, and what kind of resistance can be expected. She has asked you for recommendations on how the people involved in the process can work together to achieve mutually agreeable solutions.

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

May I please get some help putting together a three page assignment using this scenario and requirement. I'm at a complete lost. Thanks.
