This research study analyzed the results of the Jesuit Universities Consortium in comparison with the results of the Catholic Colleges and Universities and the Council for Christian Colleges Consortia as measured by the 2005 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) in order to determine and identify any statistically significant differences between the consortia. One-way ANOVA analyses and Tukey HSD post hoc comparisons were conducted on the data from freshmen/first year students and seniors/fourth year students on each of the five clusters of the NSSE to determine any statistically significant difference and, subsequently, the effect size of any found differences. The study found that there were statistically significant differences on the following: 1) freshmen/first year students in the Jesuit Universities Consortium and the freshmen/first year students in the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities Consortium on the NSSE cluster of Academic Challenge, 2) freshmen/first year students in the Jesuit Universities Consortium and the freshmen/first year students in the Catholic Colleges and Universities Consortium on the NSSE cluster of Enriching Educational Experiences, 3) freshmen/first year students in the Jesuit Universities Consortium and the freshmen/first year students in the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities Consortium on the NSSE cluster of Supportive Campus Environment, 4) seniors/fourth year students in the Jesuit Universities Consortium and the seniors/fourth year students in the Catholic Colleges and Universities Consortium on the NSSE cluster of Active and Collaborative Learning, and 5) seniors/fourth year students in the Jesuit Universities Consortium and the seniors/fourth year students in both of the Catholic Colleges and Universities and the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities Consortia on the NSSE cluster of Supportive Campus Environment. While statistically significant differences were found in the aforementioned analyses, effect sizes were small for all. Future research studies, including longitudinal studies, are needed to fully investigate levels of student engagement within the three consortia.

This study investigated the methods of professional development used for institutional mission education, the role of the senior student affairs officer in delivering professional development, and the frequency of mission education that entry-level staff receives within the Division of Student Affairs at Catholic colleges and universities. The targeted population for the study encompassed senior student affairs officers (SSAOs) working in student affairs at Catholic colleges and universities within the United States.

The study found that prior knowledge and understanding of institutional mission is important for new entry-level student affairs practitioners to join the Catholic college or university student affairs community. The study also categorized common strategies of education for institutional mission into two subgroups: formal and collaborative. Finally, the research study found that there were no institutional characteristics that were significantly linked to institutional mission education training for new student affairs staff. However research results showed a slight difference in that institutions with Offices of Mission offered mission training with greater frequency than institutions without an Office of Mission.

In the Apostolic Constitution, Ex corde Ecclesiae, John Paul II states that the Catholic university and college is a human institution wherein the members critically assist in the on-going promotion of human dignity and cultural heritage through the three-fold missions of teaching, researching, and providing various pastoral services. Moreover, the members perform these tasks, imbued with the Christian spirit and inspired with the Gospel values in order to "assure in an institutional manner a Christian presence in the university world confronting the great problems of society and culture." In short, the institution marks the confluence of two streams within a Catholic academic environment--culture and religion. Church legislation has remained neither silent nor irrelevant on the question of Catholic higher education. In fact, the 1983 Code of Canon Law devotes several canons of related issues pertinent to these institutions. It does not, however, systematically address the critical topic of church-related educational institutions with respect to religiously-owned universities and colleges and their canonical status. Instead, in a more general way, the 1983 Code introduces new and broader options for canonical status, including the public and private juridic person and the public and private associations of the faithful with or without juridic personality. Consequently, at the heart of this dissertation lies the issue of canonical status of religiously-owned federated Catholic universities and colleges in Canada; the crux of the matter is the precise determination of and alteration to that canonical status, given the broader designations in the 1983 Code. Accordingly, based on the presumption that tracing the titles to property of religiously-owned educational institutions is the truest indicator of its present canonical status, this dissertation undertakes a canonical investigation into the titles to property of the Basilian-owned, Canadian federated Assumption University at Windsor, Ontario. Selecting and properly applying an option, if appropriate, presents innovative ways to direct various educational institutions within particular settings and under different governance models, while ensuring, among other concerns, the protection against exposure to civil and canonical liabilities of church-related institutions and the on-going mission of the Catholic university.

This study examines the music programs in liberal arts colleges through the historical lens of three Catholic Universities in the state of Florida. Although there are numerous historical dissertations and theses written about individual music schools and departments, and a few that compare music programs in similar types of institutions, none have compared music programs in Catholic universities within the same state. After teaching at Saint Leo University and experiencing the process of rebuilding a music program after it was almost completely lost in the mid-1990s, I wanted to study the histories of Saint Leo and other Florida Catholic institutions that have struggled through similar circumstances, but with very different outcomes.

I examined each music program through interviews with past and current faculty, administrators, and students; archival documents; published histories; school newspapers and yearbooks; and local newspapers and magazines. I visited each campus, photographed the physical facilities, and observed faculty and students. Gradually the stories of three music programs emerged. By comparing the data from each institution I was able to address the following research questions: 1. When and how did each music program begin? 2. How did each one develop (i.e., organization, curriculum, faculty, facilities, performing groups)? 3. What are the relationships between the Catholic affiliation of each of these institutions and the development of their respective music programs/departments? 4. What are the similarities and the differences between the music programs of these schools (i.e., structure, faculty, facilities, curriculum and degrees offered, performance groups, and students)? 5. What role does music play in the overall vision of the universities and their development? 6. What are the implications of this study for music education in these and other liberal arts colleges?

This thesis reports research which employed quantitative data collection methods to investigate pre-service teacher perceptions of extended practicum learning environments of pre-service teachers at a Catholic university and their self-efficacy for future teaching. By drawing on learning environment research, practicum in teacher education literature, student teacher practicum evaluation data and stakeholder perceptions of dimensions of the ACU extended practicum learning environment, an instrument, a 72-item questionnaire, the Extended Practicum Learning Environment Inventory (EPLEI) was developed and validated. To establish relationships between student teacher perceptions of the extended practicum learning environment and their self-efficacy for future teaching, a Student Teacher Efficacy Instrument (STEI) was also developed. Data were collected from student teachers using the EPLEI and the STEI. In 2001, the total sample consisted of 64 students. Recognising that there are a number of dimensions to the learning environments of the extended practicum and to assess differences in student teacher and supervising teacher perceptions of the same extended practicum learning environment, supervising teachers responded to an analogous form of the EPLEI. In 2002, the sample consisted of 57 student teachers and their supervising teachers. Statistical analyses were performed on the quantitative data and revealed some statistically significant differences in the way student teachers and supervising teachers perceive the same environment. Statistical analyses also revealed significant differences in student teachers perceptions of extended practicum environments in relation to school type. Student teachers who participated in the extended practicum in Catholic schools perceived the learning environments more positively than student teachers in State and Other Christian schools. The analyses revealed significant associations between student teacher perceptions of the extended practicum learning environments and their self-efficacy for future teaching. This research clearly demonstrates that extended practicum experiences of student teachers at a Catholic university are affected by features at both classroom and school levels

The small cemetery is all that remains ofthe Snow Kirk! in Old Aberdeen. The church itself fell into ruin in the eighteenth century having been used bythe Catholic community since the Reformation? The churchyard, however, continued to be used ' for Catholic burials into the twentieth century. Two wall plaques record the burial there ofthe brothers, John and James Sharp both priests who had worked on the mission in Scotland for many years? The funeral monuments attest to their piety and in John's case state that he hadbeen educated at the colleges at Scalan in Upper Glenlivet and Valhido'lid in Spain.4 Praise follows for his great learning and for his personal culture and manners:s the implicatIOn being that he owed these qualities to .. his education at the colleges. It is particularly charming that,the epitaph pll\~es equal emphasis on learning and urbanity. He had been trained at a Scots College abroad in the penal times when it was illegal to receive such an education in Scotland. While his . . memorial tablet commemorates his achievements the majority of Scots Catholics who attended the colleges abroad during the penal times have gone unrecorded.6 This dissertation will attempt to identify those students who through their contributions to cultural life of Scotland and elsewhere deserve greater academic attention. Historians have written on aspects of Catholic history during these times. Alphons Bellesheim7 , J F S Gordon8 and William Forbes-Leith9 have produced histories ofthe Catho~.ic Church in Scotland. Their accounts, though ofgreat value, are more than a century old with consequent short-comings. Bellesheim, the German historian, wrote his four volumes on the history ofthe Church in Scotland from the earliest times. Volume 4 deals with post-Reformation history and concentrates on missionary work, particularly that of the Jesuits, in Scotland. The style is anecdotal and his approach is hagiographical. Gordon wrote his history in anticipation of the reestablishment ofthe Scottish hierarchy in 1878. The main part of his text is devoted to ', supporting this and the Penal Times are covered only in an extensive foreword in which he attempts a broad sweep ofthe subject and like Bellesheim relies heavily on unreferenced source material. Both ofForbes-Leith's major works are heavily dependent on the accounts ofthe troubles of Catholic individuals from the late sixteenth to the eighteenth century. In nature they are family histories dominated by a small number ofnorthern families including:tJordon, Forbes and Leith. In all these histories passing reference is made to the Scots colleges abroad but no asse~~mentof their impact is attempted. More recently Mark DilworthlO , Maurice Taylorll and Brian M Halloranl2 have produced histories of individual Scots colleges and an anthology ofessays on the Pontifical Scots College in Rome was produced to' celebrate its 400th anniversary.13 The Innes Review continues to produce scholarly articles on many aspects of Scottish CathoIicism.14 However, the vast majority ofthese accounts are focused exclusively on religious matters as is unsurprising since almost all ofthe historians involved are ordained priests, secular and regular, and therefore writing from a professional or vocational perspective. IS The impact ofthe Scots Catholic colleges in Europe during ,' this period has not yet been addressed as a whole, either in terms ofsecular history or ofthe wider influence ofthe alumni ofthe colleges. This dissertation has two foci. The first is a statistical analysis ofthe prosopographical information contained in the college registers ofstudents. Together with other archival material this gives a view ofpatterns of attendance and trends sustained over time. The main details covered with regard to the students are age, family background (social and occupational), geographical origin and relationships with wider Catholic and Scottish networks. This is all original work based on primary sources.16 The last comprehensive review ofthis college material was organised by P J Anderson17 more than a century ago and consisted ofthe assembly ofprimary material without translation or analysis. More recent attempts at prosopography have been those ofHalloran (a partial reconstruction ofthe missing Paris college records) . and Dilworth (a listing ofthe known members ofthe Wiirzburg Schottenkloster). In neither case was any analysis ofthe data attempted. My data base ofstudents was produced after rigorous examination or re-examination of original college archival material surviving in Scotland and on the continent. Wherever possible corroborative cross referencing was made with other archives - particularly those ofthe Society of Jesus18 and the Congregation ofPropaganth'FideJ9 in Rome - and therefore represents a significant advance on any earlier work attempted in the field.• , A second focus ofthe dissertation is on the cultural impact that the colleges achieved through their alumni. In the compass of a doctoral dissertation it is simply impossible to give a full account of the cultural or political activities ofso many individuals active over such a geographical area and a span ofcenturies. The overview attempted is only indicative ofthe scope and degree of influence achieved and in no way intended to be comprehensive or definitive. It is supported quantitatively, however, by the statistical analysis ofthe data base which establishes the minimum numbers of Scottish alumni active in various fields such as the Church, military and state service, commerce, academic research, humanities, art and architecture A number ofthe most famous students ofthe colleges have been evaluated .already as contributors to their own field of endeavour either in biographies21 or within general histories.22 In each case they have been treated as individuals with little suggestion that they belonged to a corpus ofalumni that benefited from the unique privileges which attendance at a Scots college conferred. This omission becomes more regrettable when an assessment is made ofthe other students ofthe colleges in more than two centuries who have escaped the attention of historians or have received only the most peremptory ofaccounts. In a preliminary way this dissertation attempts to sketch some ofthe connections which emerge when these individuals are viewed in context. Again the constraints of space have limited the background which I have been able to provide. What is offered is inte.tfded only to aid the reader in having some .A sense ofthe world in which the Scots alumni existed. It is in .no way . primar;:.to the dissertation or fundamental to its purpose or claims. In my researches I have had access to a number of archives of primary materials. As well as those ofthe Jesuits and Propaganda Fide already mentioned were the MadridlValladolid College (now in Salamanca) and the Roman College: also the Archivio Segreto Vaticano and Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana were examined for relevant material. The University of WUrzburg kindly allowed me access to surviving manuscripts from that city's Schottenkloster. I have made extensive use ofthe Scottish Catholic Archives in Edinburgh and found valuable material in the Special Collections ofthe University ofAberdeen and in the City ofAberdeen's archives.. ,. The methodology which I have adopted in constructing this dissertation is to have discussed in order the following: the founding ofthe colleges; the basis oftheir academic success; the numbers and backgrounds ofstudents who attended; their contributions to the Catholic mission in Scotland; further contributions to the wider Catholic Church; those alumni who took up significant positions in Military or State service; those who were prominent in scholarly or academic life; and those noted for scientific, business or.artistic excellence. In all cases, where relevant, statistical analysis ofthe data base has been used to support any conclusions drawn. One more point requires to be made in this preface: to declare my personal viewpoint. By confession I am a Catholic, Scottish but ofIrish ancestry. This has driven much ofmy interest in this research but I have striven to avoid it colouring my objectivity. I sta~ed the research in a state of almost complete ignorance and was driven by curiosity which only intensified the more I learned. If! have weighed evidence more lightly or exaggerated outcomes more than a totally objective commentator from a wholly secular background might have done then in my defence I might claim that I have done no more than partially to rectify the imbalance shown by past historians in their almost total neglect or denial ofthe substantial contributions to cultural developments achieved by the Scots Colleges abroad.

ABSTRACT College and university mission statements commonly declare contributions for the public good and the development of engaged and responsible citizens as central to their institution's work. Yet, a different narrative is often revealed when rhetoric meets reality in the promotion and tenure policies for faculty. Since Ernest Boyer's seminal work Scholarship Reconsidered (1990) called for an expansion of the way we think about and reward scholarship in academia, a preponderance of studies have considered the degree to which community engagement and public scholarship has been integrated into higher education faculty reward policies. Such research has helped chart the progress that has been made in this area over the past twenty-five years. Many past studies have focused on land-grant and public research universities, both of which have specific mandates informing their institutional missions. Fewer studies look specifically at private or faith-based institutions. This study specifically considers how Catholic higher education is addressing the challenge of recognizing and rewarding community-engagement in its faculty policies. The overarching research question guiding this study asks: To what extent is institutional mission operational in faculty recruitment, reappointment, promotion, and tenure policies at Catholic colleges and universities designated with the Carnegie Foundation's Community Engagement classification? The study employs a qualitative, content analysis of the mission statements and recruitment, reappointment, promotion, and tenure policies of 31 Catholic colleges and universities. The institutions in this target cohort are members of the Association of Catholic Colleges & Universities (ACCU) that received the nationally recognized Carnegie Community Engagement classification in 2015. These two affiliations suggest that each institution in the cohort has a distinct Catholic identity and demonstrates a high commitment to community engagement. I first explore how these 31 Catholic institutions articulate their mission, values, and identity. Next, I evaluate their recruitment, reappointment, tenure, and promotion policies. Through a comparison of the findings, I determine the extent to which these Catholic institutions align their faculty reward policies with their faith-based foundations and espoused missions through a commitment to community engaged teaching and scholarship. Further, through a cross-case analysis, I reveal policy exemplars from Catholic colleges and universities that can inform institutions interested in strengthening the alignment between their Catholic mission/identity and faculty roles and rewards.

The aim of this dissertation is to present a composite picture and evaluation of the Scots College Paris from the establishment of a Prefecture Apostolic in Scotland in 1653, until the eclipse of the college in 1792. In order to show the Mission needs that a Scottish college would have to meet, this study began with a preliminary survey of aspects of Catholicism from the creation of the Jesuit mission in 1584 until the appointment of a secular Prefect in 1653, followed by an exposition of what little is known about the first foundation of the College (1325-1603) and the first fifty years of the second foundation (1603-1653), This review showed that the Scots College in Paris was in an excellent position to further the aims of the Scottish Catholic Mission. The history of the college was then examined chronologically by principalships, but it was found necessary to devote separate chapters to three topics, Jacobitism, Jansenism, and the College archives. The investigation indicated that the Scots College Paris had given considerable beneficial service to the Scottish Catholic Mission, but preoccupation with the Jacobite cause, and a reactionary stance as regards the Constitution Unigenitus deflected the staff from the task of preparing students for the priesthood and ultimately led to baneful consequences for Scottish Catholicism. Quarrels with the Jesuits and internal quarrels amongst the secular clergy contributed to the decline of the college. The college did, however, assist in the education of about seventy priests, provided three of our earliest Bishops, played a major role in the establishment of seminaries on Scottish soil, and built up a library and archives of which even the remnant is an invaluable resource for historians.

The organizational effectiveness and strategic management areas of organizational theory are the general focus of this study. Organizational effectiveness is defined as the extent to which an organization by the use of certain resources fulfills its objectives without depleting its resources and without placing undue strain upon its members and/or society. Strategic management is defined as an array of processes which leads to the development of an effective approach to achieve the organization's objectives. Little agreement appears to exist on how to evaluate organizational effectiveness and to what extent strategic management impacts organizational effectiveness. This is the problem this study addressed. This study presents an extensive review of the literature, formulates some syntheses and utilizes a questionnaire to gather pertinent data. The sample of respondents consisted of a group of key administrators from all the Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States. The questionnaire had a ninety percent response rate. This study was primarily a correlation study which emphasized the perceptions of the respondents regarding the elements and/or processes of strategic management and the concepts of organizational effectiveness. The Chi-Square and Spearman rank order tests were utilized for statistical measures. The analysis of data revealed any significant relationships between (1) the elements and/or processes of strategic management and (2) the concepts related to organizational effectiveness.

Women Religious founded more than half of the current two hundred and sixty institutions of Catholic higher education in the United States. Rooted in a distinct mission to women’s education in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, these colleges and universities have demonstrated a strong commitment to educate the politically, economically, educationally, and ecclesially marginalized, with particular emphasis on the empowerment of women. For nearly a century, these colleges and universities have creatively adapted to various changes in the educational and cultural landscape and have navigated and negotiated the complex relationships between the Church, the university, and the larger U.S. society. Ironically, their experiences and stories remain widely unknown compared to those of similar institutions founded by and for men. Using a historical and theological lens, this dissertation demonstrates how the deep stories that sustained the life and identity of many Women Religious in the United States inspired the foundation of colleges and universities that distinctively saw these stories in unique ways. In doing so, they modeled new and creative ways of education women, and others, that remain to be genuinely studied and incorporated into the larger narrative of U.S. Catholic higher education. At a time of major cultural, demographic, and ecclesial transitions, this dissertation proposes ways for those deep stories to continue to give life, even in the absence of the women who embodied them. It does so by focusing primarily on the example of the Sisters of Mercy and one of their universities. This work proposes practical approaches for leaders in Catholic higher education to embrace the deep stories grounding their institutions in order to cultivate practices and commitments that prophetically advance the identity and mission of their institutions in the twenty-first century

Previous research has shown that accountants may be inadequate moral reasoners. Concern over this trend caused the Treadway Commission (1987) and the Accounting Education Change Commission (1990) to call for greater integration of ethics into the student's training. Ponemon and Glazer (1990) found a difference in cognitive moral development (CMD) between accounting students at a public university and a private university with a liberal arts emphasis. This study expands Ponemon and Glazer's research by examining two liberal arts universities, one a private, secular institution and one a Catholic institution. The primary research question asks if Catholic university accounting students manifest greater CMD growth than secular university accounting students. Additionally, this study examines and compares the priority that accounting students from the different institutions place on ethical values versus economic values. It was expected that Catholic university accounting students would manifest both greater CMD growth and a greater concern for ethical values over economic values when compared with non-Catholic university accounting students. The study utilized a two-phase approach. In the first phase, an organizational study of two institutions was made to determine how each strives to integrate moral development into their accounting students' education. In the second phase, lower-division and senior accounting students were given three ethical and values related tasks to complete which propose to measure differences in ethical and economic values.

This study is linked to the research line State, Policies and History of Education and has as its object the extension in Catholic Community Universities. Its general objective was to analyze the multiple determinations that have influenced the conceptions of extension in Catholic Universities that, since the approval of Federal Law 12.881, on November 12th in 2013, are now part of a specific group in the scope of higher education: Community Institutions of Higher Education - ICES. The following questions guided the investigation: what determines the conceptions of extension of the Catholic Community Universities? In what way has university extension contributed, over time, for the ICES to maintain their differentiated identity before the State? The studies revealed that: i) there is not only a conception of extension in force in Brazilian universities. Such conceptions are forged in the conceptions of a disputed university in society and are, in one way or another, also referred to the forms of understanding that one has of the relation of exteriority between university and society; ii) the ICES have a complex identity, marked by ambiguities insofar as they converge, in addition to the elements that make up their logos and ethos as a social institution and the particularities of the university in Brazil, the fact that they are nonprofit, mostly philanthropic, therefore in interface with the National Policy of Social Assistance. In addition, their recognition by the State as community IES because of their differentiated work, including through extension, have consolidated them as non-state public institutions - a field that is interposed between public IES and private IES in the strict sense; iii) in the case of Catholic ICES, the orientations emanating from the Catholic Church are added to this identity. From the studies carried out, it is understood that the conceptions of the extension of these Universities determine the tensions between elements of Science, Faith, State and, gradually, the Market, and these elements also conform the identity of these institutions. This calls into question the paradoxes, dilemmas and contradictions that historically demarcate it, and also make it a field of dispute for university conceptions and, at the most, society. As a methodological course, documentary analysis was used in a broad sense, mainly through bibliographical research, analysis of dissertations and theses, and the elaboration of an inventory based on information from the worldwide computer network to characterize ICES and, especially, Of Community Catholic Universities in Brazil and in the World. With the purpose of apprehending conceptions of extension in a Catholic community university, aspects of the extension of the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás were taken by reference for analysis.
Este estudo vincula-se à linha de pesquisa Estado, Políticas e História da Educação e tem como objeto a extensão em Universidades Comunitárias Católicas. Seu objetivo geral foi analisar as múltiplas determinações que têm incidido nas concepções de extensão em Universidades Católicas que, a partir da aprovação da Lei federal no 12.881, de 12 de novembro de 2013, passam a compor um grupo específico no âmbito da educação superior: as Instituições Comunitárias de Educação Superior – ICES. As seguintes questões orientaram a investigação: o que determina as concepções de extensão das Universidades Comunitárias Católicas? De que modo a extensão universitária tem contribuído, ao longo do tempo, para que as ICES mantenham sua identidade diferenciada perante o Estado? Os estudos revelaram que: i) não há apenas uma concepção de extensão vigente nas universidades brasileiras. Tais concepções são forjadas nas concepções de universidade em disputa na sociedade e estão, de um modo ou outro, também referidas às formas de compreensão que se tem da relação de exterioridade entre universidade e sociedade; ii) as ICES possuem uma identidade complexa, marcada por ambiguidades na medida em que convergem, além dos elementos que compõem seu logos e etos como instituição social e as particularidades da universidade no Brasil, o fato de serem IES sem fins lucrativos, majoritariamente filantrópicas, portanto em interface com a Política Nacional de Assistência Social. Além disso, seu reconhecimento pelo Estado como IES comunitárias em razão do trabalho diferenciado que realizam, inclusive por meio da extensão, consolidaram-nas como instituições públicas não-estatais - campo que se interpõe entre as IES públicas e as IES privadas em sentido estrito; iii) no caso das ICES católicas acrescentam-se a essa identidade as orientações emanadas da Igreja Católica. Dos estudos realizados compreende-se que determinam as concepções de extensão dessas Universidades as tensões entre elementos da Ciência, da Fé do Estado e, gradativamente, do Mercado, sendo que esses elementos também conformam a identidade dessas instituições. Isso põe em questão os paradoxos, dilemas e contradições que a demarcam historicamente e fazem da extensão também um campo de disputa de concepções de universidade e, no limite, de sociedade. Como percurso metodológico utilizou-se a análise documental, em sentido lato, fundamentalmente por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, análise de dissertações e teses e da elaboração de um inventário a partir de informações constantes da rede mundial de computadores para caracterização das ICES e, especialmente, das Universidades Comunitárias Católicas no Brasil e no Mundo. Com o fito de apreender concepções de extensão em uma universidade comunitária católica, tomou-se por referência para análise aspectos da extensão da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás.

Esta pesquisa investiga os meandros e as redes da relação público/privado que consistiu na implantação do Instituto Federal do Paraná (IFPR), campus Palmas no ano de 2009, explicitando a que demandas sociais correspondeu o processo de “federalização” do Centro Universitário Católico do Sudoeste do Paraná (UNICS). A pesquisa está assentada, epistemologicamente, no método do materialismo histórico dialético e, metodologicamente consultadas fontes primárias (leis, documentos, entre outros), entrevistas com os envolvidos diretamente no processo estudado e levantamento bibliográfico em obras clássicas, livros, artigos de periódicos, entre outros materiais. Primeiramente foi apontado o cenário da educação superior nos governos de FHC e Lula, e, em particular, a expansão numérica de instituições, na sua maioria privadas. Em seguida, problematizou-se sobre o desenvolvimento histórico de Palmas e a Igreja Católica neste contexto. Posteriormente abordou-se a historicidade do ensino superior em Palmas e o processo de implantação do Instituto Federal (IF). Constatou-se que, a implantação do ensino superior em Palmas, gestado pela Igreja Católica na década de 1960 e, mantida pelo Centro Educacional e Assistencial Dom Carlos (CPEA), balizado pelas políticas educacionais dos governos militares, enfrentou, no decorrer de sua história, problemas de ordem financeira fazendo com que seus gestores e sua mantenedora recorressem, em algumas ocasiões, ao Estado, visando pleitear subsídios que garantissem a manutenção das atividades. A partir do primeiro quinquênio do ano 2000 a crise financeira se agravou ocasionada pela diminuição do número de alunos. Neste sentido, houve um movimento conduzido pelo CPEA/UNICS, apoiado por políticos dos poderes executivo e legislativo, empresários/comerciantes, conduzido pela relação de amizade entre o Bispo Emérito da Diocese de Palmas e Francisco Beltrão, Dom Agostinho José Sartori e o governador do Paraná, Roberto Requião para a “federalização” do UNICS. Este processo se concretizou numa triangulação das esferas público federal, público estadual e privado – o Estado do Paraná procedeu a desapropriação da estrutura física, indenizando a mantenedora, e transferiu ao governo Federal para a implantação de um campus do IF – para a qual foram determinantes as relações de patrimonialismo e afinidades pessoais, demostrando que ainda não se superou no Brasil a distinção entre público e privado confundindo-os, neste caso, ainda mais. O estudo demonstrou também, que a “federalização” não foi um projeto de política pública de Estado para atender as demandas sociais e necessidades da classe trabalhadora por educação pública e gratuita. Foi um projeto arquitetado pela Igreja Católica tendo como representante o CPEA, fazendo uso do Estado para salvar a sua falência. Foi literalmente a “arte de cair em pé”.
This research investigates the networks and intricacy of public / private relationship which consisted on the implementation of the Federal Institute of corresponded to the process of "federalization" of the Catholic University Center of southwest Paraná - UNICS. The research is epistemologically based on the dialectical and historical materialism method, primary sources (laws, documents and others) methodologically consulted, interviews with the ones directly involved in the studied process, and literature findings in classical works, books, journal articles, among other materials. It was first pointed out the scenario of higher education in the FHC and Lula governments, and in particular, the numerical expansion of institutions, mostly private ones. Then it was discussed the historical development of Palmas and the Catholic Church in this context. Later, the historicity of higher education in Palmas and the implementation process of the Federal Institute (FI). It was found that the implementation of higher education in Palmas, gestated by the Catholic Church in the 1960s and maintained by the Education and Assistance Center Dom Carlos (CPEA), marked by the educational policies of the military government, faced financial problems in the course of history, this way taking its managers and sponsor to resort to the State for money in order to help keep the educational activities. In early 2000s, the financial crisis worsened, causing a decrease in the number of students. In this sense, there was a movement led by CPEA / UNICS, supported by politicians from the executive and legislative branches, traders/ businessmen, led by the friendship between Emeritus Bishop of Diocese of Palmas-Francisco Beltrão, Dom Agostinho Jose Sartori and the governor of Parana, Roberto Requião for the "federalization" of UNICS. This process was possible due to the union of the three spheres: federal, state and private. The State of Paraná held expropriation of the physical structure, indemnifying the sponsor , and transferring to the Federal Government for the implementation of a campus FI – For this to happen, the patrimonial relationships and personal affinities were very important, showing that in Brazil the distinction between public and private has not exceeded yet, in this case, making them even more confusing. The study also showed that the "federalization" was not a State public policy project to meet social demands and needs of the working class for free and public education. It was a project devised by the Catholic Church having CPEA as a representative making use of the state to avoid its bankruptcy. It was literally “the art of bouncing back from a hard time.

Durant la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, le système universitaire chilien a connu trois importantes transformations successives : la Réforme universitaire commencée en 1967, l’intervention militaire des universités à partir de 1973 et la législation universitaire imposée entre la fin de 1980 et le début de 1981. Durant ces différents processus, l’expérience de l’Université Catholique du Chili a été à la fois particulière et caractéristique. Sa particularité est notable dans la manière avec laquelle chacune de ces transformations se sont déroulées en son sein. Elle montre, outre sa condition d’institution d’élite, catholique et pontificale, l’existence d’une grande variété d’acteurs, de motivations et de relations, dont les tensions se gèrent par des stratégies et des mécanismes caractéristiques de sa communauté universitaire. Mais elle est aussi emblématique car les rapports de force qui traversent les acteurs de l’Université Catholique reflètent bien la variété et la complexité des logiques et intérêts en jeu, qui se retrouvent dans les autres universités chiliennes
The Chilean university system experienced three important and successive transformations in the second half of the twentieth century: the university reform which began in 1967, the military intervention in universities starting in 1973 and the imposition of university legislation from late 1980 and early 1981. The experience of the Catholic University of Chile throughout these processes was as unusual as it was revealing. Unusual because the effect of each of these transformations on the university not only shed light on its position as an elite, catholic and pontifical institution, but also exposed a variety of actors, causes and relationships, and thetensions between them, which were managed through strategies and mechanisms characteristic of the university community. And revealing because the power relationships between the university’s own actors, compared with those of other institutions, painted a more complex and complete picture of the different ideas and interests at stake, whose influence was not restricted to the Catholic University of Chile, but extended to Chilean universities in general

Service-learning in higher education institutions have been developed rapidly over years. Due to pubic expectation that higher education institutions would be able to actively engage social development in US, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching published the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification in 2006 to recognize universities as successful social institute. The study aims to explore the application of Carnegie Community Engagement Classification at two catholic universities, Loyola University Maryland (LUM) and University of Notre Dame (ND), in U.S. and one catholic university, Fu Jen Catholic University (FJU), in Taiwan. The study adopted document analysis, and conducted interviews 9 interviewees from cases universities. The major findings are as follows: 1.Catholic social justice is the guideline for promoting community engagement in three case universities. 2.Service-learning is an important strategy to practice community engagement in case universities. However, LUM and ND engage local community in planning. 3.Three case universities have set up an office to advance community engagement and service-learning, but LUM and ND have more human resources than FJU. 4.LUM and ND have established the campus-wide assessment and feedback mechanism and conduct a survey over the implementation of community engagement. In contrast, FJU does not. 5.The programs on service-learning in LUM and FJU focus more on experiential learning. Nevertheless, ND encourages students to take interdisciplinary courses and subjects. 6.Three case universities emphasize the partnership with community. ND tended to strengthen the partnership through research projects. 7.ND and FJU pay more attention to assisting the development of local churches. However, LUM strives for transformative partnership. The Carnegie Community Engagement Classification as reference of community engagement has assisted American universities to develop their programs and partnership. This framework could be also used for Taiwan universities for self-assessment to advance community engagement and service-learning in the future.

The struggle between church and state continued during the thirteenth century. The crusades continued in the East with the advance of Islam. Crusades were also called for to put an end to heresies, in particular the Albigensian heresy. Unfortunately the established orders, such as the Cistercians, failed to combat heresy and to solve the problems of corruption in the Church. Scholastic theology developed with the establishment of the universities. These events influenced the thirteenth century. During the thirteenth century spiritual renewal began with Pope Innocent III. Councils like the Fourth Lateran Council defined church teaching and addressed corruption of the clergy. However, one of the most important sources of spiritual renewal came from the mendicant orders who had been given permission by Pope Innocent III to operate in the Church. These orders contributed immensely to education in the universities and through the Catholic laity culture advanced.
Die stryd tussen kerk en staat het voortgegaan gedurende die dertiende eeu. Die kruistogte het voortgeduur in die Ooste met die aanruk van Islam. Kruistogte was ook aangeroep om sodoende ‘n einde te maak aan kettery, veral Albiganiese kettery. Ongelukkig die ontwikkelde heerskappye, soos die Cisteriaanse orde, het nie daarin geslaag om probleme soos kettery en korrupsie in die kerk op te los. Skolastiese teologie het ontwikkel met die vestiging van die universiteite. Hierdie gebeure het ‘n kardinale impak gehad op die dertiende eeu. Gedurende die periode, het geestelik hernuwing begin met Pous Innocent III. Owerhede soos die Vierde Laterniese Owerheid het godsdiens onderrig, gedefinieer en korrupsie aangespreek. Tog, was een van die belangrikste bronne van geestelike hernuwing, die Bedelmonnik Orde, wat toestemming van Pous Innocent III gekry het om in die kerk te handel. Hierdie orde het bygedra tot onderig in universiteite en deur Katoliek leke het kultuur voortgespruit.
