Synopsis
"Superb. . . . Rosovsky has written an important book―probing, wise, shrewd, fair. . . . Deserves to be widely read." ―James O. Freeman, Washington Post
A view of America's colleges and universities and how they are run, the challenges they face and the issues that affect their "owners" - students, faculty, alumni, trustees and others. Among the issues covered are tenure, the admission process in elite institutions and curriculum."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author
Henry Rosovsky is an economic historian, specializing in East Asia, and Harvard University administrator.
From Library Journal
The author's observations of the world of "The University" are made with wit and wisdom accumulated through his 11 years as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard. The exploration of the views of the various university owners--students, faculty, administrators, trustees, alumni--provides insights for all university newcomers, but only when tempered with the knowledge that Rosovsky's experiences at Harvard will not always be valid for those entering the university society in many less-renowned institutions, especially those governed by public boards. While Rosovsky is at his best in presenting a dean's-level view of the university community, Josef Martin's To Rise Above Principle (LJ 5/1/88) provides more enjoyable reading from that same perch.
