This volume explores the numerous and competing demands that face
America’s public research universities and considers how
institutions and their leaders can best navigate this challenge to
ensure longevity, relevance, and success on the local, national,
and global stage. Today’s public research universities have the
unique challenge of responding to new societal pressures and
policies, while remaining true to their core educational missions
and values. Highlighting the multiple roles that universities must
now fulfil – as institutions of higher learning, as research
bodies, as institutions with global reputations, and as
organizations that serve the public – the volume asks how they
can best evolve in the rapidly changing education landscape.
Tackling subjects such as faculty culture, the role of technology,
financial sustainability, institutional identity, diversity, and
organizational development, chapters identify innovative and
transformative mechanisms for acclimatizing the public research
university to current educational, academic, and societal needs.
This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with
an interest in higher education, educational reform and policy, and
the sociology of education more broadly.
