Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A Forbes Best Higher Education Book"
"Shulman offers excellent insights into why change is so difficult at universities and describes how they can succeed—or fail—at their work."
---Michael Nietzel, Forbes"In [this] important forthcoming book, James Shulman of the American Council of Learned Societies and the mastermind behind ARTSTOR shows how cross-institutional collaboration and shared services can bend the cost curve, improve outcomes and make higher education more equitable."
---Steven Mintz, Inside Higher Ed"Shulman’s book is called
The Synthetic University: 'synthetic' not meaning, of course, fake, but, rather, a place of synthesis. And it is these horizontal associations that bring faculty together from different universities that he points to as a prime example of synthesis that enriches all members of the academic ecosphere."
---Nathan M. Greenfield, University World News"In a detailed, thoughtful and wide-ranging analysis, Shulman lays out the challenges to inter-institutional cooperation and suggests ways to overcome them."
---Glenn C. Altschuler and David Wippmann, Inside Higher Ed
