Synopsis

This book delves into the history of the American university system, focusing on 3 institutions and analyzing their successes and failures in their styles of administration. By contrasting three very different yet successful models of university organization and administration, the book posits the potential benefits and drawbacks of rule by a single individual as opposed to a democratic system. As the landscape of higher education morphs consistently, this book offers guidance and discusses the merits of each administrative style, offering a roadmap for institutions looking to strike a balance between innovation and tradition. An examination of the pros and cons of various structures for running a university, this book will be of value to scholars, researchers of higher education, sociologists, economists, and university administrators.
