The evaluation of public community college readiness for private sector fund-raising
G. Koelkebeck. The Fielding Institute, PhD Thesis, (1994)
Abstract
The primary purpose of this study was to identify institutional characteristics in California public community colleges which were significantly related to fund-raising success. Data were collected through a questionnaire which was sent to 106 California community college presidents, through an interview with 10 of the 76 presidents who responded to the questionnaire, through a review of California community college fund-raising related documents, and through data contained in State of California documents. Two dependent variables on fund-raising success were developed. Factor analysis was applied to the 26 questions on institutional readiness. This created four variables after which t tests were applied to 11 independent variables. A multiple regression analysis was performed for each dependent variable using the same independent variables. In each case, the results were similar. Trustee-President-Faculty positive relations and policy development were considered to be statistically significant independent variables. A test of the joint significance of the four variables created by the factor analysis (readiness for change), the presence of institutional documents, and fund-raising commitment indicated that these variables were jointly significant in the development of a successful fund-raising program.
