Higher education and society are becoming increasingly intertwined.
Both act as a transmitter of culture, yet many colleges and
universities also ideally seek to create a more perfectible society
and more enlightened, engaged citizens. When the connections
between social structures and post-secondary education are closely
entangled, the university's aims can take on a contentious struggle
for identity in a vexing web of competing external interests -
especially in light of scarce economic resources, corporate
pressures, technological questions, and globalizing trends. Higher
Education and Society weighs the urgent question of how society and
higher education influence each other. How the latter responds to
that unsettled issue may well determine whether colleges and
universities chart a more self-reflective path or one of rising
deference to societal contingencies. This book is essential for all
those who study and work in today's colleges - and for all those
who seek a better education for their children, the nation, and the
world. It is especially recommended for courses in higher education
and society, contemporary issues in higher education, the
philosophy of higher education, academic issues in higher
education, leadership in higher education, and globalization and
higher education. The book is also useful for the preparation of
faculty development programs in colleges and universities.
