An analysis of trends revealed in U.S. national surveys in 1992 and 2007 shows that faculty influence in decision making has become much more limited to personnel issues, while the influence of academic middle management - particular department chairs and deans - has expanded, especially in matters of budget and establishment of new academic programs, at both the expense of the faculty and even the central university administration." ---enResearch Subject Categories::SOCIAL SCIENCES::Social sciences::Education::International educationhigher education, KazakhstanPost soviet timefaculty roleeducation reformsArticle
