OTHER ACTION ITEMS FROM SCUP


CONNECTING THE DOTS . . . THE ESSENCE OF PLANNING <- Holiday gift?
http://ams.scup.org/i4a/ams/amsstore/store.cfm

"Connecting the Dots" is must-have collection of essential articles
originally published in "Planning for Higher Education" from 1997–2003.
If you are new to planning and don't have a full bookshelf of SCUP
journal issues, you need this book. Just published earlier this year,
it also makes a great holiday gift for colleagues or campus friends who
may not even know about SCUP, or about our great quarterly, peer-
reviewed journal.

SCUP PLANNING INSTITUTE - STEP TWO AVAILABLE IN JANUARY
Integrated Planning and Problem Solving - "Step Two"
January 23-26, 2004 in Phoenix, AZ (USA)
http://www.scup.org/profdev/PI/

SCUP's new three-step planning institute is designed to:

- Give you an understanding of campus planning issues and processes;
- Develop your analytical, strategic, and implementation skills; and
- Build your overall effectiveness within the field of higher education.

It's a great way for professionals new to the field or those currently
involved in higher education planning to receive the fundamentals and
strategies for excellence in planning. More information about the
institute: http://www.scup.org/profdev/PI/.

these online resources; nonmembers need to go to http://www.scup.org/
in order to find live links!

TOTAL TUBULAR KOOLHAAS
http://www.scup.org/
This is a lengthy (lots of photos) description of the new McCormick
Tribune Campus Center at the Illinois Institute of Technology in
Chicago. The design, by Rem Koolhaus, created a building which "revels
in this environment yet establishes its own identity on a campus where
it is hard to tell one building from another."

MASTER PLANNERS: FACULTY DEVELOPMENT
http://www.scup.org/
No, not "master planning" with regard to facilities - this article
argues for the strategic importance of good faculty development when
thinking about information technology planning. One interesting point
is made by viewing "early adopters" as the kind of "stealth resource"
that "wise planners" know exist, often outside regular planning
processes.

CRM HITS THE CAMPUS (CRM = Customer Management Relations)
http://www.scup.org/
Despite the various levels and permutations of "customers" in higher
education, a new wave of student services planning makes the assumption
that "the relationship pyramid" for a higher education institution is
no different than that for any other business.

BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS: AUXILIARY SERVICES PROFESSIONALS INTERVIEWED
http://www.scup.org/
The full subtitle is "Auxiliary Services Professionals Discuss the
Importance of Being Involved in General Campus Planning & Design.
Feature article of October issue of "College Services," the journal of
the National Association of College Auxiliary Services (NACAS). In this
interview-survey, more than a dozen NACAS members answer these
questions: "Is it important to involve Auxiliary Services in facility
planning and design? Why? What are some ways to involve Auxiliary
Services in P&D that can contribute to a successful building or
renovation project? What is the downside of NOT involving Auxiliary
Services in the early stages of P&D? Can you cite any examples of
successful projects on your campus where Auxiliary Services was
actively involved in the P&D process?"

THREE ARTICLES ABOUT THE "CAMPUS EDGE"
- FRACTIOUS TOWN-GOWN RELATIONS

It just happens that we have found three fairly ambitious articles about
town-gown relations for you. It may be that you'll want to print them
out and have them for casual reading over the coming American
Thanksgiving holiday? If you are particularly interested in these kinds
of issues, be sure to join SCUP's related online knowledge community -
http://www.scup.org/about/communities/. And stay tuned for a SCUP
no-travel audiocast on the topic to be delivered in late January or
early February.

AN UNFRIENDLY DEBATE
http://www.scup.org/
Subtitled "Huge housing project and a proposed biolab rankle some Davis
'townies,'" this article from "National Crosstalk," discusses the
current struggle between town and gown in Davis, California as a
relatively unique form of "bared teeth relations."

TURF WARS
http://www.scup.org/
Subtitled "How does a university grow when its neighbors say 'No'?"
This is a long description of the tensions and differences in perception
between 'gown' and at least some 'town,' focusing mostly on George
Washington University but also touching on the University of
Pennsylvania. SCUP contributed to some of the research in this story
from "The Chronicle of Higher Education," which brought it out from
under password protection so that we could share it with SCUPers.

BETWEEN TOWN AND GOWN
http://www.scup.org/
Subtitled, "The Rise and Fall of Restorative Justice on Boulder's
University Hill, " this is a 46-page PDF document from the Utah Law
Review which comprehensively discusses some of the town-gown/campus
edge issues facing the University Hill neighborhood of Boulder,
Colorado. It is not particularly flattering in its perspective of the
University of Colorado, Boulder, its students, or the City of Boulder.
