Now in its fifth edition! An indispensable reference for anyone
concerned with the future of American colleges and universities.
Whether it is advances in information technology, organized social
movements, or racial inequality and social class stratification,
higher education serves as a lens for examining significant issues
within American society. First published in 1998, American Higher
Education in the Twenty-First Century offers a comprehensive
introduction to the complex realities of American higher education,
including its history, financing, governance, and relationship with
the states and federal government. This thoroughly revised edition
brings the classic volume completely up to date. Each chapter has
been rewritten to address major recent issues in higher education,
including the COVID-19 pandemic, the movement for racial justice,
and turmoil in the for-profit sector. Three entirely new chapters
cover broad-access colleges, race and racism, and organized social
movements. Reflecting on the implications of ethnic and
socioeconomic diversity within higher education, the book also
grapples with growing concerns about the responsiveness and future
of the academy. No other book covers such wide-ranging issues under
the broader theme of higher education's relationship to society.

Colleges and universities are best understood as networks of
departments working together to fulfill a mission of education,
innovation, and community partnership. To better understand how
these large and complex institutions function, scholars can apply
organizational and strategic planning concepts made familiar by
business management. This book follows that model and explores the
new and emerging ways by which organizational theories address
major contemporary concerns in higher education. The contributors
to this volume are both influenced and inspired by the pioneering
work of Marvin Peterson and his four-decade career researching
higher education organization. Comprising a serious re-examination
of the field, the essays review past and current thinking, address
the field's core theoretical traditions, and pursue exciting new
lines of inquiry, including the organizational dynamics of
diversity and social movement organizations. Ideal for courses in
administration and theory, this book reinvigorates the study of
higher education as an organization and encourages scholars to
rediscover the value of organizational principles in all areas of
higher education research. Contributors include: Michael N.

First published in 1999, American Higher Education in the
Twenty-First Century offered a comprehensive introduction to the
central issues facing American colleges and universities. This
thoroughly revised edition brings the classic volume up to date.
The contributors have rewritten every chapter to address major
changes in higher education, including the rise of organized social
movements, the problem of income inequality and stratification, and
the growth of for-profit and distance education. Three new chapters
cover information technology, community colleges, and teaching and
learning. This edition seeks to capture several crucial dynamics in
the nexus of higher education and society. Placing higher education
within its social and political contexts, the contributors discuss
finance, federal and state governance, faculty, students,
curriculum, and academic leadership. They also grapple with growing
concerns about the future of the academy and reflect more deeply on
the racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic diversity within higher
education. No other book covers such wide-ranging issues under the
broader theme of higher education's relationship to society. Highly

Rethinking College Admissions probes the many facets of higher
education admissions and translates research-backed insights into
actionable strategies for innovative, equitable admissions
practices.Edited by scholars OiYan A. Poon and Michael N. Bastedo,
this collection gives readers an evidence-based understanding of
postsecondary admissions practices and structures, exploring many
factors that affect college access and educational equity in the
United States. These collected essays from leading experts present
boundary-pushing applied research on admissions, with implications
for policy, practice, and leadership. The volume considers
admissions issues from three angles. In the opening essays,
contributors offer critical analyses of current admissions
approaches in higher education, delineating the delicate balance of
equity-building efforts and legal pressures. The contributors offer
reflections on whether and how admissions systems further inclusion
or inequality. They examine topics such as race-conscious
admissions, holistic review without standardized test scores, and
student test preparation. The volume’s next part discusses the
many different ways in which admissions work can be done, outlines
ethical hazards, and considers potential areas for organizational
change. The final essays provide inroads and examples for
developing reciprocal relationships in research and practice for
the future. They discuss promising approaches for advancing campus
diversity, such as admissions lotteries, direct enrollment, and
institutional promise programs for high-achieving students from
low-income communities. A must-read for practitioners, policy
makers, and anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of
postsecondary admissions structures, including K–12 educators and
counselors, advocacy groups, and students, this work supports
data-informed approaches to higher education admissions.
