An eye-opening and at times controversial insider's look at the
current state of higher education in America, from one of the
nation's most distinguished and down-to-earth university
presidents.
At a time when daily news headlines scream of competitive
college enrollments, skyrocketing tuition, campus violence, alcohol
and drug abuse, and other campus scandals, the former president of
The George Washington University tells it like it really is.
Educated at Columbia, Yale, and Harvard universities, with a
membership in Phi Beta Kappa, more than fifteen honorary
doctorates, four books, and numerous published articles, Stephen
Joel Trachtenberg is one of the leading voices in American higher
education. Here he brings his thirty years of experience, wisdom,
and wit to reveal what goes on behind the scenes in the difficult
and rewarding challenge of running a university. Using wonderful
anecdotes from his own life, Trachtenberg explains with compassion
and his trademark humor the insight he has gained from the halls of
learning.
For parents who will write big checks to send their sons and
daughters to college, for businesspeople of all kinds looking for
leadership lessons, and for anyone invested in America's system of
higher education, this book is a major work about the importance of
sustaining our nation's natural brain trust.
