History

The inception of the Kuali community can be traced back to 2004 when the Kuali Project was initiated by the University of Hawaii, Indiana University, rSmart, and The National Association of College and University of Business Officers (NACUBO). The project received its initial funding of $2.5 million from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, providing the initial impetus.

In 2005, recognizing the need for a more structured approach, the Kuali community evolved into a non-profit organization, officially known as the Kuali Foundation. This transition emphasized the community's dedication to serving the specific needs of higher education, "for education, by higher education."

A significant development occurred in August 2014 when the Kuali Foundation announced the launch of its for-profit commercial entity. This marked a transition as Kuali re-licensed and assumed responsibility for the development of the Kuali community software, moving it to the cloud. The shift to the Software-as-a-Service model was well-received. The Kuali foundation considered its mission accomplished and disbanded in 2023, noting the extensive adoption of Kuali software by educational institutions. [2] [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Educational management</span> Administration of education systems

Educational management refers to the administration of the education system in which a group combines human and material resources to supervise, plan, strategise, and implement structures to execute an education system. Education is the equipping of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, habits, and attitudes with learning experiences. The education system is an ecosystem of professionals in educational institutions, such as government ministries, unions, statutory boards, agencies, and schools. The education system consists of political heads, principals, teaching staff, non-teaching staff, administrative personnel and other educational professionals working together to enrich and enhance. At all levels of the educational ecosystem, management is required; management involves the planning, organising, implementation, review, evaluation, and integration of an institution. Research in educational management should explore the dynamic interplay among educational leaders, their followers, and the broader community to enhance the quality of teaching and learning outcomes.
