MERCY COLLEGE ASSIGNMENT Tanglewood Casebook Case Study 3 Answer Question 2,5, and 6 DATE: 06/13/2015 Describe the best “targets” for your recruiting efforts by considering the job and organizational context. Evaluate the various methods of recruiting in terms of whether they seem more like “open” or “targeted” recruiting, using the information in the book to help you make this decision. If some methods seem more “targeted,” whom do you think they target? From what I have read most of Tanglewoods recruitment methods are open. Having an open recruitment process allows for all that apply a fair recruitment process because everyone that applies is considered qualified for the position.
Human Resource Management Project A college president is the backbone of the college. Cape Cod Community College was seeking “an experienced, visionary leader who embraces the community college mission”. The job description required a strong educational background and outlined some solid goals that needed to be achieved. A large list of ideal characteristics comprised most of the profile. I believe they have found them in Mr. John L. Cox, Ed.
The College System The word ‘college’ is often associated with words such as ‘expenses’ and ‘debt’. In the American college system, at least, this seems to be the pattern. Colleges and Universities are getting more and more inaccessible to students due to their increase in tuitions. According to Andrew Delbanco in his book College: What It Was, Is, and Should Be, the difference between Colleges and a Universities is that a College “is about transmitting knowledge of and from the past to undergraduate students so they may draw upon it as a living resource in the future” (Delbanco 2). This reflection of the past to learn for the future seems unrealistic when half of Americans cannot pay for such education.
Ungar argues that the government is to blame for their lack of financial support and not the educational institution. Given that Sanford Ungar is the president of a small liberal-arts college, his obvious bias shows when suggesting that small liberal arts colleges are the most rewarding since they have more of a community feel and are usually independent. But, liberal-arts colleges are better in the financial department because they continue to work to expand “need-based financial aid, the net cost of attending” (196). Courtney Umhoefer graduated party from University of Wisconsin and Ohio State University in 2011 with a degree in consumer financial services. The cost of this left her with a student loan balance of $86,000.

The Supreme Court, however, ruled that the more formulaic approach of the University of Michigan's undergraduate admissions program, which uses a point system that rates students and awards additional points to minorities, had to be modified. The undergraduate program, unlike the law schools, did not provide the individualized consideration of applicants necessary in previous Supreme Court decisions on affirmative action (Amara, 16-17). Because of the Supreme Court’s mixed emotions on this topic, unqualified students and job applicants are still being accepted over more qualified people but only because they are from a minority group. That is why affirmative action is a problem

Our political leaders and Delbanco can both concur that a liberal education is important, but can both see eye to eye that it is what the future economy will be built off of. In our nation it has become more and more difficult for our citizens to attain this college degree, because it is becoming less and less affordable. Alongside both parties, most American’s can agree that a liberal education is important, but neither the Republican Party nor the Democratic Party have made any significant change to better the liberal education system. According to the Obama Administration, President Obama has “proposed incentives for states to maintain their commitments to higher education through a new $1 billion investment” (“Keeping Costs Down”), and Obama has failed to accomplish his proposal. Obama needs to manage the budget a bit more wisely, because the more funding put towards the liberal education system, the more our economy will flourish.
The business school was always trying to find ways to increase enrollment in the EMBA. Considering that Washington University is a fairly large university it struck Prof Kouvelis as odd that there wasn’t a greater interest in the EMBA program from within the WU community, especially the faculty. In a nutshell, the problem that kept Prof Kouvelis puzzled was- how could Olin Business School increase interest and more importantly enrollment in the EMBA program by the faculty members across various schools at Washington University? It was in this context that when one of the teams in class 34 in the EMBA program approached him for guidance for a project idea for their Innovation project that the Professor considered it a reasonable opportunity and asked Team e-cubed to try to come with an answer for his problem. The ACE Framework Assess: Team e-cubed started with an internal exercise to understand the context of the problem.
