Methods: We conducted a supra analysis, which is a form of secondary analysis of qualitative data. Existing interview data were drawn from a mixed-methods study focused on changes in academic advising policies and practices at baccalaureate degree-granting community colleges. Results: We identified three interrelated themes: (a) putting students first; (b) overextending oneself selflessly; and (c) pressures of neoliberalism and bureaucratic checkpoints. Conclusion/Contributions: This work addresses an important gap in the literature as it pertains to the complexities of the work and professional lives of community college faculty at CCB-conferring colleges. In addition to highlighting the emotional labor of CCB faculty advisors, this work further illuminates how community colleges have “nor...

The purpose of this study was to determine why FCS teachers in Texas high schools are not becoming advisers of FCCLA and affiliating chapters of FCCLA in schools. Family and consumer sciences teachers were surveyed to identify their perceptions of FCCLA and the potential barriers to establishing local chapters. The sample consisted of FCS teachers in Texas high schools (N = 405). Slightly more than half (n = 209) reported no participation in FCCLA. Some of the barriers examined included subjects' perceptions of time available for involvement in an FCCLA chapter, whether chapters were curricular or cocurricular, whether FCCLA met the needs of students, the details involved in managing a chapter, the organization’s focus on competitions, and funding sources.

As such, undocumented college students’ experiences must be situated in their current policy context. Drawing on descriptive analyses of a survey of 1,277 undocumented 4-year college students in California, we examine how undocumented students are faring in a relatively inclusive policy context. Results demonstrate the heterogeneity of undocumented student experiences and unpack the challenges they confront while also demonstrating the ways they thrive. We document how respondents are performing across a variety of academic, well-being, and civic and political engagement outcomes. We also show that undocumented students’ perceptions of legal vulnerability are complex and varied, taking into account family-level legal vulnerability and individual protections. Further, students perceive campuses as fairly welcom...

Throughout this volume, we continue to celebrate the journal’s 20-Year Anniversary. With your support, the JLE has increased its standing and impact to become the premiere research publication that critically examines the educational conditions of Latina/o/x communities in and outside of the United States. This year also marks the twentieth anniversary of the first state laws that began opening up higher education to undocumented youth. In 2001, Texas and California each passed laws that allowed undocumented youth who attended high school in the state to pay in-state college tuition rates. Since then, state and institutional policies have been critical to advancing undocumented students’ educational access and promoting their inclusion. California has established state laws that provide financial aid and expanded eligibility for in-state tuition rates. California’s public higher education institutio...

To date, the fi elds of e-leadership and e-management, or more generally, virtual leadership, have been unable to make much progress. This exploratory study uses adaptive structuration theory, an approach recommended by Avolio (2001 and 2014), to provide a broad framework that is modifi ed for the fi eld. It uses the multi-method, multi-level approach recommended by structuration theory. Findings regarding three specifi c advanced information technologies (AITs) are discussed, study limitations are provided, and future research opportunities are reviewed.
