Building The Responsive Campus: Creating High Performance Colleges And Universities

Plot

Building the Responsive Campus offers a critique of modern academia, as well as a proposal for making campuses more effective -- that is, better at meeting the clients' or customers' needs. The author addresses the problems that many academic institutions have today in clinging to the practices and organization of the past. He argues that institutions of higher learning are in demand of dramatic organizational change. The book takes a data-driven approach using research derived from ethnographies, case studies, and interviews carried out over the past fifteen years. By outlining the many problems in organization that colleges and universities face today, the author hopes to reveal workable solutions.
