Abstract

For almost a century, big-time college athletics has been a wildly popular but consistently problematic part of American higher education. The challenges it poses to traditional academic values have been recognized from the start, but they have grown more ominous in recent decades, as cable television has become ubiquitous, commercial opportunities have proliferated, and athletic budgets have ballooned. In the second edition of his influential book Big-Time Sports in American Universities, Clotfelter continues to examine the role of athletics in American universities, building on his argument that commercial sports have become a core function of the universities that engage in them. Drawing on recent scandals on large-scale college campuses and updates on several high-profile court cases, Clotfelter brings clear economic analysis to the variety of problems that sports raise for university and public policy, providing the basis for the continuation of constructive conversations about the value of big-time sports in higher education.

However, within today's globalized labour markets, employability has gone far beyond the notion of obtaining stable and permanent employment. This book explores graduates' experiences in developing and utilizing employability capitals for career development and success in different labour markets"--

Abstract

Ist das Studium eine Ausbildung fürs Berufsleben? Seit der Bologna-Erklärung sind die Universitäten mit der Forderung konfrontiert, Employability als Studienziel zu verankern, aber es gibt keine klaren Vorgaben zur Umsetzung. Die Autorinnen und Autoren beschreiben ein Prozessmodell, das sie speziell für Universitäten entwickelt haben, um das Studienziel Employability umzusetzen. Das Modell berücksichtigt alle Phasen und Aspekte der Implementation und Umsetzung: konzeptionelle, strategische und definitorische Basis, Methoden, Kommunikationsprozesse und Evaluation. Durch seine Offenheit und Flexibilität kann es an die jeweiligen hochschulspezifischen Gegebenheiten angepasst werden. Das Buch richtet sich an Universitätsleitungen, Lehrende und Studiengangentwickler:innen, die die bildungspolitische Forderung nach Employability verwirklichen wollen. Als Beratende im Career Service der Universität Münster kennen die Autorinnen und Autoren die Anforderungen des Arbeitsmarktes, die Profile der Absolventinnen und Absolventen und sind auch mit den universitären Strukturen vertraut. Diese vielfältigen Erfahrungen machen das Prozessmodell zu einer praxisnahen Blaupause für die Einführung und Förderung von Employability als Studienziel an Universitäten.
