Smart Leadership for Higher Education in Difficult Times

Edited by David Breneman and Paul J. Yakoboski

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: As the US economy emerges from the severest recession in a generation, large questions regarding its long-term ramifications for higher education remain unanswered. In fact, the harshest effects of the economic downturn are likely ahead as campus leadership focuses on enrollment, affordability and fundraising. This volume of essays examines the challenges and opportunities for advancing higher education’s core missions of education, research and service in a resource-constrained environment.
