In A University for the 21st Century, James J. Duderstadt discusses the array of powerful economic, social, and technological forces that are driving the rapid and profound change in American social institutions and universities in particular.Change has always characterized the university as it has sought to preserve and propagate the intellectual achievements, the cultures, and the values of our civilization. However, the capacity of the university to change, through a process characterized by reflection, reaction, and consensus, simply may not be sufficient to allow the university to control its own destiny. Not only will social and technical change be a challenge to the American university, Duderstadt says, it will be the watchword for the years ahead. And with change will come unprecedented opportunities for those universities with the vision, the wisdom, and the courage to lead in the twenty-first century. The real question raised by this book is not whether higher education will be transformed, but rather how ... and by whom.A university for the twenty-first centuryEducational leadershipMichiganAnn ArborEducational changeMichiganAnn ArborEducational leadershipEducational change378.774/35Duderstadt James J.1942-46422Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780542903321A university for the 21st century3731091UNINA
