Decades of Chaos and Revolution - Showdowns for College Presidents

Informationen zum Autor By Stephen J. Nelson Klappentext Decades of Chaos and Revolution presents an insightful picture of the tension and tumult that today's presidents of colleges and universities face. These problems stem from the 1960s and 1970s, a time when these issues first arose and their outcomes ultimately shaped the administrations of future presidencies. These ideological battles continue, however, and 21st century presidents are grappling these same issues.
