Download or read book American Presidents and Education written by Maurice R. Berube and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1991-06-30 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the president of the United States in regard to education changed significantly following the end of World War II. As the U.S. economy became more sophisticated and the country emerged as the dominant technological and world power, the demand for an educated work force increased. In this work, Maurice R. Berube offers the first comprehensive analysis of the involvement of American presidents in educational policy, tracing the efforts of administrations from Washington to Bush, and chronicling the national and international pressures to shape educational policies that have characterized the post-World War II era. Berube's work takes the form of a policy study as he analyzes presidential programs in education, the reasons for their implementation, and their correlation to national educational outcomes. Beginning with the birth of the presidency, he examines successful programs that had a considerable impact and less successful efforts that were significant either ideologically or as forerunners of future policies. The constitutional constraints of the president's role in education are explored, as well as recent developments including the corporate presidency and the rhetorical presidency. Among the other issues addressed are education and the economy and the federal and state constitutions' views of a right to education. This work will be a unique and valuable resource for students of presidential history, the politics of education, and contemporary issues in education, as well as an important addition to public and academic library collections.

Download or read book Designing the New American University written by Michael M. Crow and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-03-15 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radical blueprint for reinventing American higher education. America’s research universities consistently dominate global rankings but may be entrenched in a model that no longer accomplishes their purposes. With their multiple roles of discovery, teaching, and public service, these institutions represent the gold standard in American higher education, but their evolution since the nineteenth century has been only incremental. The need for a new and complementary model that offers broader accessibility to an academic platform underpinned by knowledge production is critical to our well-being and economic competitiveness. Michael M. Crow, president of Arizona State University and an outspoken advocate for reinventing the public research university, conceived the New American University model when he moved from Columbia University to Arizona State in 2002. Following a comprehensive reconceptualization spanning more than a decade, ASU has emerged as an international academic and research powerhouse that serves as the foundational prototype for the new model. Crow has led the transformation of ASU into an egalitarian institution committed to academic excellence, inclusiveness to a broad demographic, and maximum societal impact. In Designing the New American University, Crow and coauthor William B. Dabars—a historian whose research focus is the American research university—examine the emergence of this set of institutions and the imperative for the new model, the tenets of which may be adapted by colleges and universities, both public and private. Through institutional innovation, say Crow and Dabars, universities are apt to realize unique and differentiated identities, which maximize their potential to generate the ideas, products, and processes that impact quality of life, standard of living, and national economic competitiveness. Designing the New American University will ignite a national discussion about the future evolution of the American research university.

Download or read book The Education of a College President written by James Rhyne Killian and published by Cambridge, Mass. : MIT Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Education of a College President" is a personal account of the author's association with M.I.T. for sixty years as student, editor, and administrative officer, including his service as President from 1948 to 1959, and as Chairman of the Corporation. Interwoven with this account of an unusual career at one of the world's leading science-based universities is the story of Killian's excursions into the public sector as the nation's first full-time presidential science adviser, when NASA and our national space program were created and Eisenhower began initial efforts to ban atmospheric nuclear tests and to encourage disarmament. Attention is also paid to his role as the "father of public television." In his memoir, Killian shows how M.I.T. grew from an engineering school offering technical courses to undergraduates into a research university of a unique kind, with a new focus on developing better links between the "two cultures" of science and the humanities. He provides an inside report on the major events and policies of his administration: the establishment of a School of Humanities and Social Science, the rationale for the later formation of a School of Management; and many improvements in the Institute's environment. Following his student days at M.I.T., Killian joined the staff and later became editor of the institute's alumni journal, "Technology Review. In 1939 he became President Karl T. Compton's Executive Assistant. He became Vice President of the Institute in 1943, President in 1948, and Chairman of the Corporation in 1959. James R. Killian has received numerous awards, including the Public Welfare Medal of the National Academy of Sciences, the first Vannevar Bush Award ofthe National Science Board, the Hoover Medal, one earned degree (S.B.) and thirty-nine honorary degrees. He is the author of "Sputnik, Scientists, and Eisenhower and coauthor (with Harold E. Edgerton) of "Moments of Vision," both published by The MIT Press.
