Reviews
Informative observation by a former Stanford administrator and president of the Association of American Universities... recommended for general readers, upper-division undergraduates, faculty, and professionals.
Rosenzweig combines unabashed admiration for American research universities, honesty about their real-world shortcomings, keen appreciation for academic quality, and apprehension bordering on congenital pessimism about looming threats to their continued effectiveness.
A very readable and excellent portrait of today's American research university.
