Knowledge and Money - Research Universities and the Paradox of the Marketplace

Informationen zum Autor Roger L. Geiger is Distinguished Professor of Higher Education at Penn State University. He has written extensively on research universities and the history of higher education. Klappentext "I can think of no other scholar who could combine Geiger's mastery of the relevant research literature, his capacity to develop penetrating new analyses of national data, and his gift for creating vivid portraits of particular institutions at the forefront of change. The book is, in many ways, a tour de force. It will enhance Geiger's already impressive reputation." --Steven Brint, University of California, Riverside "If someone were to ask me 'How do I learn about what happened to American universities in the past 30 years?' this would be the book to which I would send that person." --David W. Breneman, Dean, Curry School of Education, University of Virginia Zusammenfassung This book explains how market forces are profoundly affecting finance, undergraduate education, basic research, and participation in regional and national economic development at American universities.
