Reviews / Votes
"Whether you're the CEO or Dean, the Provost, or Department Chair, you must prepare yourself for all possibilities. This edition describes various situations that currently are being experienced by leaders in higher education today... While no one predicted a worldwide pandemic, we had to respond to it quickly. Hopefully, this edition will provide a valuable guide to whatever success administrators in higher education will experience in the decades going forward."From the Foreword by Belle S. Wheelan, President, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges
"As the higher education industry continues to evolve, we will experience new challenges and opportunities to deliver the best instruction, programs, and services possible. The third edition of this book is timely, as it will be an essential resource to help professionals make their most critical strategic decisions in the years ahead."
Amelia Parnell, Vice President, Research and Policy, NASPA-Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education
"Drawing on a range of perspectives, this volume offers useful insights into how higher education institutions - as organizations - work. Chapter authors provide practical guidance for higher education leaders as they strive to achieve strategic priorities, create change, and address key challenges facing U.S. higher education institutions. With discussion prompts at the end of each chapter, the authors encourage readers to consider how they can apply insights in their own institutional context."
Laura W. Perna, Vice Provost for Faculty, GSE Centennial Presidential Professor of Education, Executive Director, Alliance for Higher Education and Democracy (AHEAD), University of Pennsylvania
