This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . . . the stature of the authors, who include prominent university presidents and chancellors as well as leading researchers on the business of higher education, makes this a worthwhile read. Not to be missed are the chapters on how three Virginia universities are redefining what it means to be a public university, and an interesting and provocative look at the looming financial crisis in higher education and how it can best be addressed. Highly recommended. F. Galloway, Choice The New Balancing Act in the Business of Higher Education is a must read for higher education leaders. It captures the major challenges of balancing enhancement of revenues to sustain mission and core values with containing costs to keep tuition for students affordable. At the same time, given the changing nature of the faculty, colleges and universities must respond by developing more flexibility within faculty careers. And presidents must lead their institutions through transformative changes that require trust and credibility among the stakeholders. Now is the time for strong, collaborative and decisive leadership. Claire Van Ummersen, Vice President and Director, American Council on Education, US This volume is an important read for those responsible for working through an environment in which change is the one true constant. Richard D. Legon, President, State Higher Education Executive Officers, US The New Balancing Act in the Business of Higher Education clearly indicates the world s finest system of higher education (as we have so long claimed) is undergoing an identity crisis. Stan Ikenberry begins by pointing with alarm to an eroding social compact , the once well-understood reciprocal responsibilities between higher education and society. Then other leaders, in a series of thoughtful essays, outline the dimensions of our situation. They warn of the risks of pursuing new revenues without a firm grasp on core values, and explore the challenges of rebuilding trust, the centrality (and growing marginalization) of faculty academic leadership, the pernicious effects of inertia, the urgency of innovation and change, and the evidence of successful leadership and adaptation. Global forces have made success in higher education indispensable to almost all of the American people. Without compromising on quality, the nation needs substantially more widespread educational attainment. We are in a crisis; business as usual is entirely unacceptable. The New Balancing Act in the Business of Higher Education is a step beyond denial, toward essential change. Paul E. Lingenfelter, State Higher Education Executive Officers, US The nation s leadership in higher education is on the line, and colleges and universities need tools and insights to remain competitive. The New Balancing Act in the Business of Higher Education should be part of their toolkit. Travis Reindl, Director of State Policy Analysis and Assistant to the President, American Association of State Colleges and Universities, US In The New Balancing Act in the Business of Higher Education, senior insiders and noted scholars assess the economic conditions facing America s universities and colleges in the 21st century. The picture they paint is not bright. In forthright and unflinching but far from despondent language, the authors consider many important issues that must be addressed even as they are often (wishfully) overlooked: stagnating college enrollment rates; the need for cost containment and systemic reorganization; institutional inertia; contingent and contract faculty; and the decline in state funding. This volume is full of useful insights and clear interpretations to aid policymakers and scholars in shaping a more optimistic future for higher education in the US. Clive R. Belfield, Queens College, City University of New York, US This volume, part of the TIAA-CREF Institute Series on Higher Education, is based on a national conference, The New Balancing Act in the Business of Hig

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union and the Arab Spring: Promoting Democracy and Human Rights in the Middle East, edited by Joel Peters, analyzes the response of the European Union to recent uprisings in the Middle East. The past year has witnessed a wave of popular uprisings across North Africa and the Middle East which the Western media dubbed “the Arab Spring.” Demanding greater freedoms, political reform, and human rights, the protesters swept away many of the region’s authoritarian autocratic regimes. The events of the Arab Spring have been truly historic. They led to profound changes in the domestic order of Middle Eastern states and societies and impacted the international politics of the region. Additionally, these events necessitate a comprehensive reappraisal by the United States and most notably by the EU in their relations with the states and peoples of the region. This timely collection brings together nine leading authorities on European foreign policy and the Middle East, and investigates three central questions: What role did the European Union play in promoting democracy and human rights in the countries of North Africa and the Middle East? How did the EU respond to the uprisings of the Arab street? What challenges is Europe now facing in its relations with the region? Peters’ The European Union and the Arab Spring is at the forefront of scholarship on this historic socio-political shift in the Middle East and its wider implications for the West.
Download or read book From VPI to State University written by Warren H. Strother and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T. Marshall Hahn, Jr., became president of Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1962. By the time he left twelve years later, the school had become auniversity. No longer a small military school that emphasized agriculture and engineering for white male undergraduates, Virginia Technical Institute and State University had become a multiracial, coeducational research university with a thriving college of arts and sciences as well as burgeoning graduate programs.Bringing together the biography of a man and the history of an institution through a dozen years of transformation, Strother and Wellenstein discuss the school's tremendous growth in sheer numbers of faculty and students, the increased enrollment of female and non-white students, and the increased emphasis on intercollegiate athletics. From VPI to State University is the story of the transformation of public higher education in the United States -- especially in the South -- in the 1960s. Much of the book relies on the recollections of the people who -- as faculty, administrators, or other leaders -- experienced, even brought about, the changes chronicled in these pages.Warren H. Strother worked with Marshall Hahn for ten years while Hahn transformed VPI into a university. A South Carolina native, Strother grew up in Virginia and earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in Journalism from Northwest University. After twelve years as a journalist he worked at Virginia Tech from 1964 to 1990.
