At the intersection of new scholarship on higher education with ontheground insight into managing institutions.This book began as a collaboration among top higher education researchers, the Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE) scholars, and the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC). Documenting the challenges and opportunities facing independent colleges in several integral areas, including public purposes and student engagement, The Challenge of Independent Colleges is informed by the reactions of independent campus presidents and provosts who work every day to act on the opportunities presented by private colleges and universities.Each of the nine chapters is written by a leading higher education scholar and frames highly relevant issues for administrators at independent colleges and universities. Topics range from Access and Affordability and Assessment to Ensuring Student Success and Institutional Strategy. Each chapter is followed by a short, critical reaction written by a provost or president at a CIC member institution. These reactions demonstrate how the information contained in the chapter might be used by institutional leaders to make decisions and what other information on the chapters topic might be useful for leaders at independent colleges and universities.An important resource for higher education scholars and campus leaders, this text will also be a useful addition to courses on education.Contributors: John M.
