In differentiating the university from corporations and other private sector businesses, Governance and the Public Good provides a framework for discussing the trend toward politicized and privatized postsecondary institutions while acknowledging the parallel demands of accountability and autonomy placed on sites of higher learning.If one accepts the notion of higher education as a public good, does this affect how one thinks about the governance of America's colleges and universities? Contributors to this book explore the role of the contemporary university, its relationship to the public good beyond a simple obligation to educate for jobs, and the subsequent impact on how institutions of higher education are and should be governed.SUNY series, frontiers in education.Education, HigherUnited StatesAdministrationEducation, HigherPolitical aspectsUnited StatesEducation, HigherSocial aspectsUnited StatesEducation, HigherAdministration.Education, HigherPolitical aspectsEducation, HigherSocial aspects378/.050973Tierney William G1082793MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968054603321Governance and the public good4369042UNINA
