Description
Book SynopsisIn candid and wide-ranging discussions with Rosenzweig, the former presidents examine the complex political process on which the modern research university depends-and through which the modern university president must lead constituents.
Trade ReviewInformative observation by a former Stanford administrator and president of the Association of American Universities... recommended for general readers, upper-division undergraduates, faculty, and professionals. Choice Rosenzweig combines unabashed admiration for American research universities, honesty about their real-world shortcomings, keen appreciation for academic quality, and apprehension bordering on congenital pessimism about looming threats to their continued effectiveness. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
