Description
Ten contributions present a vision for higher education in the 21st century through the concept of colleges and universities as citizens. The writings contend that with political apathy growing and central government influence decreasing, those in higher education should and can address community needs and reinvigorate democracy. They also explore the educational vision of Ernest L. Boyer, a former commissioner of education. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. - from Amzon
