9780801857157: The Responsive University: Restructuring for High Performance

Sinossi

These six contributions maintain that only fundamental changes will solve the endemic problems that plague colleges and universities. The authors focus on systems and structures, rather than on the leadership of particular individuals. They offer plans for generating internal responses to external demands and constrictions, and call for increased communication and involvement with society, decentralized and localized governance, and integration and coordination within the academy.

"This book may startle some people... Definitely food for thought." -- Virginia Quarterly Review



"The deliberately challenging essays provide both compelling arguments and practical discussions of the implications of these arguments... Like Tierney's other works... this volume is well edited, well written, and challenging." -- Choice



"This book is about getting out of the box. It is about rethinking fundamental assumptions of higher education. To survive and thrive in the next century, colleges and universities will have to be responsive in the eyes of those being served." -- Future Survey
