America's Research Universities - The Challenges Ahead (Paperback)

Research and teaching constitute the core purposes of America's research universities. The intellectual integrity of students' and scholars' work rests upon an ethical foundation, requiring a dedication to reasoned and civil dialogue, open minds, and reliance on evidence as the basis for conclusions. America's Research Universities discusses pressures and enticements that can undermine and weaken the intellectual integrity and the health of the universities themselves. Significant challenges include effective institutional governance in a context of diffuse power centers; financial solvency; security; housing; risk management; and outsourcing other support and serviced functions. This book is intended to increase understanding while helping our treasured universities surmount the challenges ahead.
