Recovering from Sputnik

By: Robert J. Schaeffner

What should colleges do with their outmoded science buildings?

From Volume 26 Number 2 | Winter 1997–1998

Abstract: Many institutions are coping with outmoded science buildings constructed in the post-Sputnik era. The mechanical systems in many of these structures are failing, the designs are fairly inflexible, and the costs of renovation or new construction are high. However, institutions have little choice; current needs simply cannot be addressed by existing structures. Given this reality, the pros and cons of minor renovations, extensive renovations, and new construction are evaluated.

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.
