Trust and the Public Good considers the role of trust in academic life - as related to social networks, communities, and organizational communication. The text also considers the unique relationship between higher education and the public, noting that trust is essential to fulfillment of the public good. Utilizing a series of institutional case studies, William G. Tierney maintains that the status quo is untenable for higher education. Institutions will be called upon to take risks; innovation and experimentation demand that what is known may be changed or dropped in favor of what is unknown. When individuals take risks in an organization, they need to trust the organization and one another. Trust and the Public Good is essential reading for faculty members, administrators, and preservice teachers.
«The first person I sent this book to was my son who is just entering academic life. Everybody involved in academic life, faculty and staff and alumni, would profit enormously as well. It is the most original and important book on the culture and future of higher education that I've read.» (Warren Bennis, University Professor and Distinguished Professor of Business, University of Southern California)
«'Trust and the Public Good' is another major contribution by Bill Tierney, the country's most creative scholar on higher education. Tierney links theories of social capital and trust with the risk taking that must occur for institutions of higher education to respond to the major changes he identifies. The four case studies provide invaluable practical laboratories to demonstrate how Tierney's theory applies to reality.» (Neil Hamilton, Professor of Law, Director of the Center for Ethical Leadership in the Professions University of St. Thomas School of Law)
«Bill Tierney hasthought deeply about the role of and need for trust in academic institutions. As social capital trust cannot be overvalued; as a condition for promoting the public good trust should never be underestimated. His book is a cautionary account of why faculty involvement in governance is crucial to building trust; and explains how tenure-track and tenured faculty sustain the bonds of trust that make shared governance work well in an academic community. He also reminds all of us in the academy why we must think creatively about earning and keeping the public's trust.» (Roger W. Bowen, General Secretary, American Association of University Professors, Former President of State University of New York at New Paltz (1996-2001))

Not only is Tierney's book a good read, but it gives food for thought to anyone who cares about the qualify of academic life and the future of academe.» (Edward P. St. John, Algo D. Henderson Collegiate Professor of Education, University of Michigan)
