Governing Tomorrow's Campus Perspectives and Agendas

This collection of original essays brings to center stage new ideas about who shares--and will share--in governing colleges and universities. The chapters cover a range of issues. Part One surveys the evolution of academic governance, from the middle ages to the present. Part Two offers theoretical perspectives on the unique structures and dynamics of academic organizations, including fresh insights into the complexity and diversity of higher education. Part Three examines the changing place of faculty in governance--and challenges to the traditional notions of the professiorate's role in running the institution. Part Four looks at developments in unionization, changes in management styles and participation, and the impact of grievance systems on academic organizations. Part Five considers a range of external forces on the quality of governance, including relations between campus and alumni, donors, and political entities.Schuster, Jack H. is the author of 'Governing Tomorrow's Campus Perspectives and Agendas' with ISBN 9780028973722 and ISBN 0028973720.
