Principles, Practices, and Creative Tensions in Progressive Higher Education

In this multi-faceted case study of one progressive institution of adult higher education, the editors and contributors to the volume lay out significant challenges confronting not just non-traditional post-secondary colleges and universities but all institutions of higher education in today's rapidly changing context. Contending that non-traditional institutions are especially challenged in these turbulent times, they argue that these organizations' distinctive academic programs are among the most threatened in the landscape of higher education today.
