Anderson, Luke A. – New Directions for Higher Education, 2010
In the late summer of 2008, after the 2007-2008 fiscal year's books had closed, the nation's wealthiest universities were confronted with an unfamiliar sight: single-digit endowment returns. Not since 2003 had Harvard University (Cambridge, Massachusetts), Princeton University (Princeton, New Jersey), or Stanford University (Stanford, California)…

Brown, Alice W. – New Directions for Higher Education, 2011
Colleges survive sometimes because they are able to merge with another institution (a for-profit company, another private college, a state university). The change at the College of Charleston was shaped in the 1970s, when the college did not "merge" with a state institution--it "became" a state institution, which grew.. and…

Chambers, Charles M. – New Directions for Higher Education, 1981
The susceptibility of students (in loco parentis), the protected status of higher education regarding academic freedom, and higher education's operation as a public trust are three reasons for the special ethical responsibilities of college and university administrators. Ethical behavior as an extension of legal doctrine is examined. (Author/MLW)

Long, Durward – New Directions for Higher Education, 1977
Public service programs must be natural by-products of research and teaching if universities are not to degenerate into omnibus social service organizations. Universities must maintain institutional integrity in teaching citizens to think creatively, act humanely, and use their freedom of both ideas and action. (Editor/LBH)

Levine, Arthur – New Directions for Higher Education, 2011
Bradford College, located 35 miles north of Boston in Haverhill, Massachusetts, was exactly the type of institution in greatest jeopardy of closing. It was too small, with an enrollment that never exceeded five hundred students. Such institutions tend to have high attrition rates because they have limited numbers of courses, majors, facilities,…

Merritt, Karen; Lawrence, Jane Fiori – New Directions for Higher Education, 2007
Planning, opening, and bringing to life a new institution of higher education is a challenging undertaking. At UC Merced, it has been a daunting and exhilarating experience for its founding administration, faculty, staff, and students. Campus pioneers had no road map, no playbook to tell them how to plan and build in the twenty-first century a…

Vignare, Karen – New Directions for Higher Education, 2009

Most of…
