This book discusses the challenges and issues facing America's colleges and universities as we enter a period of change and reform. Thinking About American Higher Education explores three major imperatives that will drive the future. First, colleges and universities must respond to six critical challenges: minority participation; financing quality education; replacing quality faculty; affordability; institutional ethics; and national competitiveness. Secondly, strong leadership is required at both the institutional and state government levels. And thirdly, changing regional economies will require certain institutions to foster new forms of higher education.
Gilley explores the major issues and imperatives that will occupy American higher education into the 21st century, including minority participation; science, technology, and economic competitiveness; community colleges; governors vs. college presidents; ways of serving hypergrowth regions; secrets of the best state university systems; and academic strategy--advice for multicampus governing boards.

Thinking About American Higher Education: The 1990s and Beyond
Should be required reading for those of us entering (or attempting to enter) academia. Also, sociologists write differently from theatre scholars.
UPDATE: Having survived my first semester at an institution undergoing serious administrative changes, I see more and more the value of this book. I've actually recommended it to many of my colleagues. It's a weird time to be a college professor.
