Abstract:

In this paper, I aim to discuss the introduction of research universities into the Turkish university system and its relevance for fine art faculties in Turkey, the possible impacts it will have on the position of art departments in relation to the changing ideas of university. In this regard, I will discuss what happens to "academic research", how it is defined under this new scheme and where does the particular form of artistic practice stand in this context. The recent introduction of research university concept urges us to think what art has art anything to do with research, and hence, what status artistic thinking holds in the newly emerging academic model. This current discussion allow us to focus on the marginal status of art education within the academia and how this exercise on thinking the position of art schools in relation to the academy can help us to reimagine both the university and artistic thinking anew.

Abstract: The industry of higher education institutions such as colleges and universities are highly competitive amongst themselves for the best students, professors, researchers, industry partners, and athletic programs. Charged with attracting top quality clientele who will not only attend the institution, but help the university reach its objectives and goals, the marketing department becomes paramount to the organization’s success. For many years higher institution attendance has increased across the board. As more technical colleges and alternative career paths with specialized training become more appealing, statistical analysis indicates that higher institution attendance numbers are decreasing. If this trend continues, colleges and universities will be forced to become more competitive to entice high quality clientele to attend their organization. The importance of marketing the institution will become critical to ensure the continued success of the organization. Higher education institutions can target ideal candidates for their university’s programs through the use of statistical analysis techniques such as lead scoring, time series control, continuous improvement, and quality management tracking. Considered quality leads, ideal candidates possess a high likelihood of attending the university and garnering greater r eturns for the university through academic or athletic achievement.
