Description
Book SynopsisIn The Kindness of Strangers, Deni Elliott examines ethically questionable situations that have arisen in response to institutional dependency on external benefactors.
Trade ReviewElliot is a fine scholar and her previous work related to fund-raising in higher education has been outstanding. The Kindness of Strangers is clearly and sensibly blocked out, and hits a lot of issues of great importance. Arguing that the quest for funds has led administrations into practices that betray the trust of alumni and other donors, Elliot writes extremely well and to a considerably large audience. -- David H. Smith, Fredericks Distinguished Visiting Professor of Ethics, DePauw University
