Higher education is undergoing profound change at an unprecedented pace in today’s academic marketplace. This accelerating and precipitating change has motivated these distinguished authors – passionate observers of academe – to read well-chosen publications about meeting demands and responding to needs among our nation’s historically Black universities and colleges (HBCUs). We have captured the essence of expediting the critical analysis to confront the challenges of academic administration, finance, student life, technology, and other areas in the academic enterprise. Today’s administrators and academicians must be able to make balanced decisions based on a methodology that is compendious, intelligible, unambiguous, clear, and credible. The authors have provided this methodology based on their collective experiences in perhaps the toughest sector of the marketplace – the HBCU sector.The timing of this savvy book could not be better. Given recent media coverage of controversial and debatable decision-making at institutions of higher learning, this book can serve as a resource for meeting institutional challenges, approaching them with sequential structure, involving stakeholders in analytics (patterns) & informatics (processes) and formulating recommendations for future arbitration. The active research process for making these tough decisions provides a collaborative convergence to advance the process from a collegial examination of facts and issues. This process supports widespread advocacy in higher education for fostering organizational learning, leveraging human capital, institutionalizing human empowerment, and growing learning communities of practice for success.

This collaborative book by five distinguished scholars in overlapping fields suggests that fruitful living is extremely hard work and that social harmony requires the unlocking and the emancipation of the human brain – the core cerebral source for advancing human coherence, connectivity, cohesion and civility. The stakes are simply too high for stakeholders across our country not to respond to the ongoing and escalating crisis of human division and the desperate need for engagement, enlightenment, and acceptance of human diversity. The authors strongly encourage academic and practitioner psychologists, as well as other students and social scientists, to join a timely framed narrative for greater progress in diversity.Neurodiversity aims to encourage dialogue, discourse, and discovery about what may be obvious to many but avoided by most – because its forces us to look inward instead of outward. We can make such inward observations, through the lenses of psychology, cognition, mindfulness, and underleveraged brain capacity amid modern cultural neuroscience. This is critically important – particularly in a time marked by the widespread amplification of ambiguity, angst, ambivalence, and anger.This book focuses on “crucial thinking” versus “critical thinking.” The authors pose fundamental questions -- about what we are calling a form of cognitive “levitation” and taxonomical “climbing” (CBDT) -- to think about purposes of intellectual discourse, not necessarily to seek empirical evidence. A special feature of this book is the inclusion of sample student learning outcomes as “provisos” throughout the narrative. We have attempted to integrate the student learning outcomes in the text’s narrative and connect them to the sections where they are inserted for the reader. The book’s embedded taxonomies can also facilitate the instruction, composition, and conceptualization of targeted student learning outcomes.

Malcolm X remarked that “education is the passport of the future.” This book, developed for aspiring and forward-thinking college students, identifies future careers and future skill sets for the global marketplace and workspaces on the horizon. These future careers include occupations in artificial intelligence, information technology, wearables, virtual reality, genomics, cryptocurrencies, connected homes and others. The skill sets presented include complex problem solving, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, detail orientation, creativity, and others anticipating future competencies. The concepts of factual knowledge, conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge, and meta-cognitive knowledge are also discussed to foster the undergraduate learning experience in American higher education.

THEORRY -- The Higher Education of Research Resource Yield --is written for the modern college or university student scholar. THEORRY empowers undergraduate students to be renaissance scholars and apply academic data driven decision making as research leaders and apply practical logical model decision making as resource managers before, during and after the college experience. The Work includes three important Chapters with sections concerning leadership empowerment through research literacy and management development through logic modelling for today s renaissance student scholar on the modern college or university campus. We embraced the varying definitions of the renaissance person to conceptualize our unique definition. Generally, a renaissance person is defined as intellectual, cultured, well rounded, well grounded, experienced, educated, accomplished, or a person who draws from wide ranging bodies of knowledge.Specifically, we define the modern renaissance student as modern scholar who is well balanced from being: (a) empowered with knowledge about research leadership from seeking competence in research literacy at the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior levels of college and; (b) engaged in skill development about logic modelling from seeking competence in resource management during and after college education to support the process of lifelong learning. This is book about academic, logical and practical decision making. In today’s challenging and complex society where and when managing life for results must be part of habitual orientation for intellectual decision making and data-driven analysis in everyday living, students from all stations and stages should plan ahead, organize well and evaluate daily activities on the job, at home, in the global community. This is especially true for students in today s higher education who seek ongoing intellectual growth, student life management, and continued lifelong learning.This book provides a framework for decision making before college, during college, and after college. After all, daily student management should be a lifelong commitment; not just an experience, activity, or exercise that illuminates from challenges in our lives. Often, daily life with unanticipated issues, concerns, challenges could be the result of illogical thinking, inessential preparation, inadequate information, ineffective conceptualization, inefficient organization, failure of being proactive, failure in not seeing all the parts of the whole, or personal poor planning. This phenomenon accounts for many students inability to choose major, a minor, or a degree. The management logic matrix introduced in our second Chapter, entitled THINK, (called ZOOOM ) can be an effective and efficient resource for confronting daily these challenges. We use real-life (academic and practical) examples to illustrate the application of our logic model. To broaden practical thinking to academic context, our book includes references for some best practices and lessons learned in the business (private sector) and public administration (public sector). Especially in today s global economy, these challenges fall under all kinds of managing situations particularly in the present economy, we have found that students with limited time, limited resources, and limited support need systematic structures to manage the simplest of tasks as well as other tasks with more compelling complexity.All management challenges require the organization of the resources, the identification of outputs and outcomes, and the measurement of the work completed. The work empowers students and other readers to meet these daily life management challenges. The study provides a framework for decision making before college, during college, and after college.
