Atkinson's eight-year tenure as president of the University of California (1995-2003) reflected the major issues facing California itself: the state's emergence as the world's leading knowledge-based economy and the rapidly expanding size and diversity of its population. As this selection of President Atkinson's speeches and papers reveals, his administration was marked by innovative approaches that deliberately shaped U.C.'s role in this changing California. These writings tell the story of the national controversy over the SAT and Atkinson's successful challenge to the dominance of the seventy-five-year-old college entrance examination. They also highlight other issues with national significance: U.C.'s experiments with race-neutral admissions programs; the challenges facing academic libraries and the University's pioneering activities with the California Digital Library; and the University's involvement in new paradigms of industry-university research. Together, these speeches and papers open a window on an eventful period in the history of the nation's leading public research university and the history of American higher education. 606 $aUniversities and colleges$xAdministration 606 $aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives$zUnited States 606 $aCollege presidents$zCalifornia$vBiography 610 $a20th century america. 610 $aactivism. 610 $aafrican american studies. 610 $aamerican education system. 610 $aamerican history. 610 $ablack american history. 610 $ablack culture. 610 $ablack feminists. 610 $acivil rights. 610 $adesegregating schools. 610 $afamous black americans. 610 $afeminism. 610 $agenealogy. 610 $ahuman rights. 610 $arace and gender studies. 610 $asegregation. 610 $aunited states politics. 610 $awomen and girls. 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xAdministration. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives 615 0$aCollege presidents 676 $a378/.050974 700 $aAtkinson$b Richard C$050808 701 $aPelfrey$b Patricia A$01594739 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824566503321 996 $aThe pursuit of knowledge$94052656 997 $aUNINA
