The structure of Rutgers as a university

Sample Solution

  Rutgers is the eighth oldest university in the United States, founded in 1766. Its sprawling campuses are located in New Brunswick, Camden and Newark. The university has grown significantly since then, and currently it serves over 65,000 undergraduate and graduate students across its three campuses.

The administrative offices of Rutgers can be seen as a hierarchical organization with a strong top-down management style. At the highest level, there is an executive team consisting of eight members that include the University President and Provosts from each campus. This team makes all strategic decisions for Rutgers including setting budgets, hiring personnel and developing policies. In addition to this executive team are various committees such as the Board of Governors and Board of Trustees which assist with overseeing finances and research initiatives while providing governance oversight on behalf of faculty members, alumni and other stakeholders. Below these administrative offices we can see various departments within each college or school at Rutgers that are responsible for managing day-to-day activities related to academics as well as student services such as registration, financial aid and housing/dining services among others. We also find smaller units like centers or institutes at individual schools that specialize in research topics or areas of study particular to that school or college (e.g., Rutgers Institute for Data Science). While these individual departments fall under their respective colleges/schools’ umbrella structure they often collaborate with one another to pursue larger initiatives at the university level (e.g., interdisciplinary courses). One organizational theory that may help explain how these different departments come together under a unified vision is Fredrick Taylor's Scientific Management Theory which holds efficiency through specialization as its core principle--each department specializes in a certain area so they can focus their efforts on perfecting those tasks rather than having to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously (which could lead to decreased productivity due to lack of knowledge). This allows teams to work together towards common goals while still retaining autonomy within their own departmental structures; by delegating tasks based on expertise increases efficiency overall thereby making sure projects are completed more quickly yet still gaining maximum value from them both financially and academically speaking. In order for this system to work properly information needs to flow between departments seamlessly so they can coordinate efforts accurately without any interruptions; however finding up-to-date data about many aspects of Rutgers can often be difficult due its sheer size coupled with varying sources for information depending on what you’re looking for--some websites may not even have been updated since last year! All this makes it hard for people interested in learning about specific components within our administration but if you take time out researching each part thoroughly then eventually you will find pertinent information allowing us all better access into understanding how exactly our beloved university works!
