American Higher Education in the Twenty-First Century: Social, Political, and Economic Challenges

First published in 1998, "American Higher Education in the Twenty-First Century" offers a comprehensive entree to the central issues facing American colleges and universities today. This thoroughly revised edition brings the volume up to date on key topics of enduring interest.Placing higher education within its social and political contexts, leading scholars discuss finance, federal and state governance, faculty, students, curriculum, and academic leadership. Contributors also address major changes in higher education, especially the influence and incorporation of the latest technologies and growing concern about the future of the academy in a post-Iraq War setting. No other book covers such wide-ranging issues under the broader theme of higher education's relationship to society. Highly acclaimed and incorporating cutting-edge research, "American Higher Education in the Twenty-First Century" remains the standard reference in the field.Contributors: Philip G.
