Public concern over sharp increases in undergraduate tuition has
led many to question why colleges and universities cannot behave
more like businesses and cut their costs to hold tuition down.
Ronald G. Ehrenberg and his coauthors assert that understanding how
academic institutions are governed provides part of the answer.
Factors that influence the governance of academic institutions
include how states regulate higher education and govern their
public institutions; the size and method of selection of boards of
trustees; the roles of trustees, administrators, and faculty in
shared governance at campuses; how universities are organized for
fiscal and academic purposes; the presence or absence of collective
bargaining for faculty, staff, and graduate student assistants;
pressure from government regulations, donors, insurance carriers,
athletic conferences, and accreditation agencies; and competition
from for-profit providers. "Governing Academia, which covers all
these aspects of governance, is enlightening and accessible for
anyone interested in higher education. The authors are leading
academic administrators and scholars from a wide range of fields
including economics, education, law, political science, and public
policy.
