Review

Whether you are a seasoned higher education administrator, or a concerned legislator, or an emerging university leader, you will find Philip Francis Reconstructing Alma Mater: the Coming Crisis in Higher Education a valuable resource and useful guide for understanding higher education today. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and can t think of a major issue in higher education that was not covered. It reads more like a novel than a text. Dr Francis writing style is conversational and engaging. I felt as though I was participating in an interesting conversation about the extensive challenges our colleges and universities are currently facing. Dr. Francis addresses the innovative changes that must take place in order for colleges and universities to meet the needs of an education-thirsty society. Scenarios and examples of situations occurring at universities throughout the country are integrated to illustrate the each challenge and key point, demonstrating the author s extensive research and knowledge about our higher education system. He provides a thorough description of every aspect affecting today s institutions from technology to tenure. I would recommend Reconstructing Alma Mater for scholars of higher education as well as committed leaders who want to establish a context for making critical decisions. --Jean Blosser, Ed.D, former Associate Provost for Academic Affairs, the University of Akron

"This book shows us the future possibilities for our universities and colleges to embrace productive change. Our institutions historically have tended to be cumbersome and silo-like organizations; slow to change and to adapt creatively for the new needs of their students, faculties and administrators. But with this book, we can begin to envision a future that is organic, that values cooperation and which will bring us much needed reform." --Penny Silvers, professor, DePaul University, Chicago
