The tendency in a steady state is to retreat from facility planning as a necessary management tool and deemphasize maintenance of physical assets and efficient management of space. Systematic and comprehensive planning is necessary to avoid creating long-term problems by favoring short-term expediency. (MSE)

Four models of faculty assignment are reviewed and the experience of the Western Australian Institute of Technology over a seven-year period is examined. The primary consideration in evaluating the models is their potential for fostering excellence in the institution. Details of allocation formulas are appended. (MSE)

Resources should be reallocated from the colleges to elementary and secondary schools, and an emphasis placed on character formation and self-discipline by means of homework. Students should start school at age four and have more work experiences, but fewer should enter colleges. (MLF)

Continuing education agencies have cycles of financial activities that are all parts of financial management, including obtaining funding and venture capital, setting fees, and controlling costs for cost recovery. (Author/SSH)
