American higher education faces some serious problemsbut they are not the ones most people think In this brief and accessible book two leading experts show that many socalled crisesfrom the idea that typical students are drowning in debt to the belief that tuition increases are being driven by administrative bloatare exaggerated or simply false At the same time many real problemsfrom the high dropout rate to inefficient faculty staffinghave received far too little attention In response William G Bowen and Michael S McPherson provide a frank assessment of the biggest challenges confronting higher education and propose a bold agenda for reengineering essential elements of the system to meet them The result promises to help shape the debate about higher education for years to comeLesson Plan shows that for all of its accomplishments higher education today is falling short when it comes to vital national needs Too many undergraduates are dropping out or taking too long to graduate minorities and the poor fare worse than their peers reinforcing inequality and college is unaffordable for too many But these problems could be greatly reduced by making significant changes including targeting federal and state funding more efficiently allocating less money for merit aid and more to match financial need creating a respected teaching corps that would include nontenure faculty improving basic courses in fields such as math by combining adaptive learning and facetoface teaching strengthening leadership and encouraging more risk takingIt wont be easy for faculty administrators trustees and legislators to make such sweeping changes but only by doing so will they make it possible for our colleges and universities to meet the nations demands tomorrow and into the future.

Mellon Foundation. Universities and Their Leadership is a collection of original essays from presenters at the Princeton Conference on Higher Education. Individually, these essays discuss aspects of contemporary higher education in the U.S. Taken together, they offer a useful perspective on issues that face American universities as they enter the twenty-first century.The opening essay, The Uni- versity and Its Critics by Frank Rhodes, confronts criticisms of the American university, examines how universities have changed over recent decades, and suggests a plan of action to restore public confidence and strengthen bonds of community within universities. On the Accountability of Higher Education in the United States, by Martin Trow, deals with the critical issue of responsibility. Harold Shapiro\'s essay, University Presidents--Then and Now, blends personal insights with a historical account of changes over time in the roles of university presidents. In commenting on Shapiro\'s paper, Hanna Gray draws on her experiences as a university president and her training as a historian to demonstrate that university presidents have always operated under constraints. Henry Rosovsky and Inge-Lise Ameer collaborate in the essay A Neglected Topic: Professional Conduct of College and University Teachers, to which Amy Gutmann responds in an essay entitled How Can Universities Teach Professional Ethics? Oliver Fulton contributes a cross- cultural perspective in Unity or Fragmentation, Convergence or Diversity: TheAcademic Profession in Comparative Perspective in the Era of Mass Higher Education. Daniel J. Kevles\'s essay, A Time for Audacity: What the Past Has to Teach the Present about Science and the Federal Government, considers the historical partnership between the scientific community and the government. In reaction, Frank Press in New Policies for New Times comments on the shifting actions of major political parties in supporting research, and Maxine Singer, in her essay On the Future of America\'s Scientific Enterprise, surveys opportunities and problems that have been created by recent scientific advances. Who�s Running Our Colleges and Universities is is an inside look at the cast of characters who operate our nation�s academic institutions. It is the first book of a proposed three-part series on The Plight of Higher Education in the United States. (Books two and three should be available later in 2018.) Each book in the series is designed to be read either alone or in connection with its companion volumes. Whether you are an administrator, professor, student, parent, or concerned citizen, the first book in this series will change your perception of higher education. Unlike the bucolic campuses of the 19th Century, today�s colleges and universities require faculty and administrators trained in specialized areas ranging from cyber-security to crisis intervention, from human psychology to political advocacy, and from federal law to athletic compliance. How could a single person manage, let alone lead, such a diverse group of skilled professionals? Does your favorite university�s president or chancellor really run the show? Or is there a wizard at work behind the curtains? You may be surprised by the answers suggested in this book. Each chapter focuses on the role played by people whose behaviors are vital to the success of our nation\'s colleges and universities, yet whose role is often ignored or underappreciated. These include individual professors, the administrative support staff, the institution\'s founders, Congress and state legislators, accrediting agencies, students and their families, alumni, institutional researchers, athletics administrators, academic officials (such as the provost, deans, and department chairs), and those who work in such administrative areas as enrollment, student affairs, human resources, university business, fundraising (advancement), technology, buildings and grounds, public relations, marketing, legal compliance, and auxiliary units. And yes, the book looks at the role played by boards and the university\'s chancellor or president. In a bonus chapter, the author describes the invisible lines of authority at work in every college and university.
