Colleges and universities are among the most cherished--and
controversial--institutions in the United States. In this updated
edition of "A History of American Higher Education," John R. Thelin
offers welcome perspective on the triumphs and crises of this
highly influential sector in American life.
Thelin's work has distinguished itself as the most wide-ranging
and engaging account of the origins and evolution of America's
institutions of higher learning. This edition brings the discussion
of perennial hot-button issues such as big-time sports programs up
to date and addresses such current areas of contention as the
changing role of governing boards and the financial challenges
posed by the economic downturn.
