This book began as a collaboration among top higher education
researchers, the Association for the Study of Higher Education
(ASHE) scholars, and the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC).
Documenting the challenges and opportunities facing independent
colleges in several integral areas, including public purposes and
student engagement, The Challenge of Independent Colleges is
informed by the reactions of independent campus presidents and
provosts who work every day to act on the opportunities presented
by private colleges and universities. Each of the nine chapters is
written by a leading higher education scholar and frames highly
relevant issues for administrators at independent colleges and
universities. Topics range from "Access and Affordability" and
"Assessment" to "Ensuring Student Success" and "Institutional
Strategy." Each chapter is followed by a short, critical reaction
written by a provost or president at a CIC member institution.
These reactions demonstrate how the information contained in the
chapter might be used by institutional leaders to make decisions
and what other information on the chapter's topic might be useful
for leaders at independent colleges and universities. An important
resource for higher education scholars and campus leaders, this
text will also be a useful addition to courses on education.
