This book is aimed at creating a practical understanding of key forces changing higher education, but it goes further. It describes those trends, discusses the real life impact of those trends on campuses, and then lays out concrete steps required to address them. Taking a page from George Keller's classic Academic Strategy, management consultant and college administrator Jon McGee uses these economic and demographic trends to inform his strategic approach to managing schools"--Provided by publisher."The challenges facing colleges and universities today are profound and complex. Fortunately, Jon McGee is an ideal guide through this dynamic marketplace. In Breakpoint, he argues that higher education is in the midst of an extraordinary moment of demographic, economic, and cultural transition that has significant implications for how colleges understand their mission, their market, and their management. Drawing from an extensive assessment of demographic and economic trends, McGee presents a broad and integrative picture of these changes while stressing the importance of decisive campus leadership. He describes the key forces that influence higher education and provides a framework from which trustees, presidents, administrators, faculty, and policy makers can address pressing issues in the aftermath of the Great Recession. Although McGee avoids endorsing one-size-fits-all solutions, he suggests a number of concrete strategies for handling prospective students and developing pedagogical practices, curricular content and delivery, and management structures. Practical and compelling, Breakpoint will help higher education leaders make choices that advance their institutional values and serve their students and the common good for generations to come"--Provided by publisher.Universities and collegesUnited StatesAdministrationUniversities and collegesUnited StatesPlanningEducation, HigherAims and objectivesUnited StatesEducationDemographic aspectsUnited StatesEducation, HigherEconomic aspectsUnited StatesElectronic books.Universities and collegesAdministration.Universities and collegesPlanning.Education, HigherAims and objectivesEducationDemographic aspectsEducation, HigherEconomic aspects378.1010973McGee Jon1962-877390MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461204603321Breakpoint1959204UNINA
