Description

Drawing examples and making recommendations based on their own experience as academic administrators and faculty members, distinguished scholars address the drastically changed climate in which research universities and other institutions of higher education now function.

Reviews

"The book's key themes are managerial problems, internal politics, student-related issues and the perennial question of funding and resources."—Tony Becher, London Times

"This volume contains 19 papers on the current status of the research university particularly in light of diminished federal research support and of the opportunities and perils of the larger, international, educational stage."—Resources in Education
