"Clark Kerr, one of the nation's foremost educators and commentators on the educational scene, examines emerging problems that he predicts will influence the near future of higher education. These include the quality of undergraduate education; ethics, both as a subject and as practiced by the professoriate; the racial crisis, including the dilemma of how to provide access to underserved minority groups; and competition for recognition a ..."

ethical dimensions" of campus life: "Most presidents would not recognize an
ethical dilemma if it hit them broadside. Perhaps their need to survive in order to
succeed numbs the troubled conscience" (Harold L. Enarson, "The Ethical

"In 1930, the great Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset set forth a program for reforming the modern Spanish university. Aware that the missions of the university are many and often competing, Ortega built his program around a conception of a “general culture” that knows no national boundaries or time limits and could fit into any national system of higher education. His ideas are especially pertinent to contemporary debate in Ameri ..."

"America's university president extraordinaire adds a new chapter and preface to The Uses of the University, probably the most important book on the modern university ever written. This summa on higher education brings the research university into the new century.

"Although the period of student protests of the 1960s and 1970s has long passed, Alain Touraine argues, in this wide-ranging and vigorous essay, that the period’s problems remain with us. Higher degrees have become less and less valuable on the labor market and the demand for academic reform has become more intense. Community colleges still try to provide equal educational opportunities for the poor and the minorities, without much succe ..."

"Leading authorities on community colleges examine the sources of ethical tensions and conflicts in this complex decision-making environment and offer valuable recommendations for resolving these dilemmas. This book illustrates decision-making processes based on ethical considerations in a wide range of areas--from curriculum and student services to monitoring governing boards and selecting a college president."
"The American system of higher education helped, in however small a way, to
make it possible for Barbara Jordan and Jimmy Carter to come from opposite
sides of a segregated society to support the development of an integrated nation.
May I note that the great enduring societies of past history survived, in part, by
drawing talent from all parts of their societies. Those that developed a "universal"
aspect, to use a phrase of Toynbee, ..."
