To prosper and thrive in an increasingly unpredictable national and
global environment, U.S. higher education will need to adapt,
innovate, and evolve once again, as it has during every major
societal change over the past four centuries. The purpose of this
new edition, published a turbulent decade after the first, is to
provide institutional leaders -- from department chairs to trustees
-- with a broad understanding of the academic enterprise, strategic
guidance, and key principles, to assist them in navigating the
future and drive the success of their institutions as they confront
the unimagined. Recognizing that the hallmark of higher education
in the U.S. is the diversity of institution types, each of which is
affected differently by external and internal influences, the
authors provide examples and ideas drawn from the spectrum of
colleges and universities in the not-for-profit sector. This book
covers the major functions and constituent departments and units
within institutions; the stakeholders from students and faculty
through the echelons of administration; the external environment of
elected officials, foundations, philanthropists, and the new
changing media; and innovations in teaching, technology, data
analytics, legal frameworks, as well as economic, demographic, and
political pressures. The book is informed by the proposition that
adhering to four principles, that the authors identify as having
enabled institutions of higher education to successfully navigate
ever-changing and volatile pasts, will enable them to flourish in
the coming decades. The four principles are: 1. Be mission centric
by making all key decisions based on a core mission and set of
values. 2. Be able to adapt to environmental change in alignment
with the mission and core values. 3. Be committed to democratic
ideals by seeking to promote them and modeling democratic practices
on and off campus. 4. Be models for inclusion, equity, and positive
social change.
