Title: Institutionalism as a Way to View Higher Education Organizations: Organizational Change/Organizational Stability
Abstract: This chapter provides an examination of the community colleges and new universities through the lens of institutional theory to explain both organizational stability and organizational change. Institutionalized views and practices provide stability for the community college and the university. Yet, in the face of new practices, policies, and initiatives, the core views and practices are challenged. New practices, policies, and initiatives can become rationalized and then institutionalized, or they can be dismissed.
