Sinopsis

This drastically changed climate in which research universities and other institutions of higher education now function has led to grave doubts about how these institutions will operate in the fuiture. In The Research University in a Time of Discontent distonguished scholars address this concern, drwaing examples and making recommendations based on their own experience as academic administrators and faculty members.

In essays both learned and provocative—with new contributions enriching the collection previously published in Daedalus—these leading authorities on higher education policy and practice address a variety of important concerns:

• institutional leadership and governance
• competition among institutions and within disciplines
• the erosion of public trust
• "grade inflation" and the perversion of the academic reward system
• the challenges of diversity
• federal science policy
• increased competition for limited research funds
• the place of teaching within the research university
