| Summary: | This book provides readers with an insider's view of the American academy. The book introduces readers to the structure, logic, dynamics, and operational styles of America's public and private institutions of higher education. The author identifies the bits and pieces that compose a university in contemporary America: defines them; describes them; and does so with remarkable economy. While focused on research universities, much of the discussion applies to many other types of post-secondary institutions as the premier public and private research universities serve as models for other colleges and universities.--provided by publisher. |
