Summary

Current Issues in Higher Education addresses the challenges in higher education that leaders must understand as the world and their institutions enter the twenty-first century, in order to inform the leaders of these institutions. The issues discussed are based on four years of research conducted on various college and university campuses across the United States. It also deals with a study of higher education in China, and a college orientation program that has a global education approach for college students, reaching millions worldwide. Every chapter has been published in a national journal and presented at national professional conferences. The authors present important information on nearly every major college issue including cultural diversity, intercollegiate athletics, technology, the privatization in higher education, the internationally famous theory of Dr. Art Chickering on college student development, student wellness and health, and ways graduate students can save money.
