American higher education is under unprecedented pressure,
beginning with the public funding and student debt crises and
extending to inadequate performance in student retention and
growing global competition. Respected educator and scholar Peter N.
Stearns breaks down the underlying problems, exploring the most
contentious issues for university leaders and administrators today.
Guiding the American University covers the major facets of
university operation-administration, faculty, and students-and
discusses what should be changed and what should be preserved.
Covering major topics for debate and real problems facing American
higher education today-including the tenure system, online
learning, administrative bloat, and campus culture-this book is a
critical resource for aspiring and current higher education
administrators. Research-based and stemming from a range of case
studies, this book's insightful and fresh recommendations serve as
an important contribution to the conversation on the future of
American higher education.
