College Housing Dissertations

Discussion Questions
1. The authors discussed the demographics of the dissertations by such things as gender, degree, and type of analysis. Were you surprised by any of the demographic data that was gleaned in this study? 2. The theoretical frameworks used to guide the housing dissertation research were grouped into three main categories: the methods/attributes of the research, the theories that guided the research, and the findings in terms of topics. Why do you think the authors used these categories? 3. The results of the study of housing dissertations point to five topical themes: learning communities, multicultural issues, staffing issues, student success, and administrative and technology issues. What scholarly research or dialogue has been occurring on your campus in these areas? How does your campus measure up to each of these themes? 4. According to the article, housing dissertations that addressed administrative or management issues focused on outsourcing, staffing, training, and technology. Why do you think these topics were tackled among the variety of possibilities? What are some of the housing services that higher education institutions have outsourced and why? 5. The authors noted that housing construction and renovation is a significant concern to many college and university housing operations but are underrepresented in the dissertations found in the research. Why do you think this is the case? What are the benefits of having dissertations focused on these topics? In your opinion, why are students seeking a terminal degree with an emphasis in higher education administration not focusing on these topics for their dissertations? 6. Parental involvement has also been a topic of considerable dialogue within higher education circles, but not much has been written in scholarly journals about it. Why has the topic gained so much attention in the media, while it has been seemingly neglected by higher education researchers? If you were to address an aspect of parental involvement, what would it be? 7. The research design used for this study is based upon a bounded qualitative meta-study. What are the pros and cons of using this design for this study? Discussion questions submitted by Zauyah Waite, Journal Board reviewer, Chatham University
