Traditionally, institutions of higher education have been viewed as
the gateway to a better future, despite the fact that so many of
the neighborhoods surrounding them have been filled with
hopelessness and despair. In Promise and Betrayal, the authors want
nothing less than to start a revolution in higher education,
calling on partnerships between "town and gown" to create
sustainable urban neighborhoods. John I. Gilderbloom and R. L.
Mullins Jr. detail how higher education institutions can play an
important role in helping to revitalize our poor neighborhoods by
forming partnerships with public, private, and nonprofit groups.
They advocate leaving the "ivory tower" and supplying the community
with expert knowledge as well as creative and technical resources.
