Summary

Pasque argues that if a more thorough understanding of leaders' perspectives is not offered, then the dominant perspectives within academic discourse will continue to perpetuate the current ideas of higher education's relationship with society-from an economic rationalization perspective-without consideration of alternative perspectives.
