Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The economics of American higher education are driven by one key factor--the availability of students willing to pay tuition--and many related factors that determine what schools they attend. By digging into the data, economist Nathan Grawe has created probability models for predicting college attendance. What he sees are alarming events on the horizon that every college and university needs to understand. Overall, he spots demographic patterns that are tilting the US population toward the Hispanic southwest. Moreover, since 2007, fertility rates have fallen by 12 percent. Higher education analysts recognize the destabilizing potential of these trends. However, existing work fails to adjust headcounts for college attendance probabilities and makes no systematic attempt to distinguish demand by institution type. This book analyzes demand forecasts by institution type and rank, disaggregating by demographic groups. Its findings often contradict the dominant narrative: while many schools face painful contractions, demand for elite schools is expected to grow by 15+ percent. Geographic and racial profiles will shift only slightly--and attendance by Asians, not Hispanics, will grow most. Grawe also use the model to consider possible changes in institutional recruitment strategies and government policies. These "what if" analyses show that even aggressive innovation is unlikely to overcome trends toward larger gaps across racial, family income, and parent education groups. Aimed at administrators and trustees with responsibility for decisions ranging from admissions to student support to tenure practices to facilities construction, this book offers data to inform decision-making--decisions that will determine institutional success in meeting demographic challenges"--

Book excerpt: In the author's extensive research about leadership theories, higher education issues, and student outcomes, the success of several student affairs leaders became apparent. They all had worked at their institutions for an extended period of time and no precise leadership theory could describe their activities. A series of questions were identified to help explore how they arrived at their level of success. These questions considered: (1) the leadership strategies they employed; (2) the relationship between their professional backgrounds and their success; (3) the adjustments that had to be made to deal with the changing needs of students and their institutions; and (4) how leadership related to their success. Following an introduction, each remaining chapter features the individual story of a particular student affairs leader. These leaders include: Donald V. Adams (Drake University); David A. Ambler (University of Kansas); Carl E. Anderson (Howard University); William R. Butler (University of Miami); Thomas B. Dutton (University of California at Davis); Robert E. Etheridge (Miami University); Anne E. Golseth (Ohlone College); John J. Koldus, III (Texas A&M University); James W. Lyons (Stanford University); Alice R.
