Our Contentious Universities

A Personal History

Beschreibung

"This book describes the current state of American higher education. It is partly a memoir, and partly a personal history of Neil L. Rudenstine. The current volume considers whether the substantial nature and scale of university changes during the past half-century or more indicate that we have entered a new era when the probability of frequent protest and disruption is more likely than before"--
