Higher Education: America’s Vital Investment

By: Jeffery Olson

It’s enormously productive and beneficial. And it pays for itself. University leaders should stop being so defensive.

From Volume 26 Number 2 | Winter 1997–1998

Abstract: Asserts that campus officials have spent too much time apologizing for higher education’s costs, when instead they should be marshalling evidence to demonstrate the very real returns investment in higher education has for society and for individuals. Reviews recent research on higher education and productivity and stresses the contribution colleges and universities have made to the development of physical capital and an educated workforce. Higher education is expensive, and in many cases its benefits are not immediate; yet the author contends that ultimately, institutions of higher education pay for themselves.

Who Will Lead Higher Education’s Transformation?

By: James L. Fisher

From Volume 26 Number 1 | Fall 1997

Abstract: Colleges and universities must respond and respond swiftly to the array of pressures and concerns, both internal and external, with which they are now faced. But who will carry out the necessary reforms? Contends that the greatest barrier to such reform is shared governance, and that campuses must return to "first principles" of higher education leadership, which recognize the president as chief transformational leader and the faculty as consultants, not equal players, in the management of an institution.
