The drastically changed climate in which research universities and other institutions of higher education now function has led to grave doubts about how these institutions will operate in the future. In "The Research University In A Time Of Discontent", distinguished scholars address this concern, drawing examples and making recommendations based on their own experiences as academic administrators and faculty members.
