Today's colleges and universities are facing mounting criticism from both internal and external interest groups and constituencies. While strident calls for reform accelerate, resources for higher education have weakened. Thus, demands to improve college education abound amidst hard times. This timely book, Making College Better: Views from the Top, offers more rational and practical responses to that public outcry by allowing college presidents and chancellors from a wide variety of postsecondary institutions the opportunity to address, in measured ways, many complex issues and how they might be untangled. Moreover, these academic leaders provide possible remedies to make college better through more strategic policies and practices.

Making College Better will appeal to all those interested in the future of higher education, including students, college administrators and other higher education personnel, parents, legislators and other officials, and public and private sector leaders. It is especially useful for courses in the organization and administration of higher education, the college presidency, contemporary issues in higher education, foundations of higher education, higher education and society, and college student development.

Industry Reviews

"Joseph L. DeVitis has assembled an impressive array of college presidents from both the private and public sectors who don't mince words about the current state and future of American higher education. Each of them has a unique perspective, context, and story; and there is much to be learned from their wisdom, oversights, and forecasts. This book should be read by those seeking to be college presidents and, more widely, by anyone interested in higher education leadership."- Marybeth Gasman, Professor of Higher Education, University of Pennsylvania; Director, Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions
