内容説明

Has higher education become too successful? Are the expectations for higher education too grandiose? Lazerson discusses both the problems and the accomplishment of American universities with equal care. The book delivers a penetrating, nuanced account of American universities in the twenty-first century. Tackles topics that range from the rise of the managerial class to the failed attempts to reform practice in the classroom.
