‘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
Managing institutions of higher education has always been a balancing act as campus leaders address business issues while staying true to their institutions’ academic missions. What makes it increasingly challenging are emerging internal and external factors – including changes in federal and state funding levels, rapidly evolving demographics on campuses and in the workforce, and higher expectations and changing demands from a wide and diverse group of stakeholders. In this volume, higher education leaders explore the challenges facing colleges and universities operating in today’s environment and discuss a variety of strategies and solutions being employed to help ensure the ongoing vitality of America’s colleges and universities.
