Witty and insightful, How Universities Work is destined to be an
essential handbook for anyone wanting to understand universities in
the United States. John V. Lombardi gives readers an insider's view
of the academy, describing the structure, logic, dynamics, and
operational styles of both public and private institutions of
higher education. Lombardi defines and describes all the bits and
pieces that compose a university with remarkable economy - from
budgeting systems to tenure, from the library to the athletic
field. Although focused on research universities, much of the
discussion applies to other types of post-secondary institutions.
Ideal for students, this book will form a solid foundation for
courses in higher education, but it will also be a welcome addition
to faculty and administrators' personal libraries.
