Colleges and Universities as Citizens - Tapa dura

Readers are presented with a vision for higher education in the 21st century through the concept of colleges and universities as citizens. The authors continue the discussion of Ernest Boyer's vision of the "engaged campus," illustrating the rewards and risks and providing a critical examination of the implications of engagement on the various institutions of higher education. Each chapter discusses the status of higher education, the factors that have shaped its current status, and the steps that could be taken to produce change. The authors provide informative historical analyses, case studies, and conceptual frameworks through which planning and work can be construed and evaluated.
