RUTGERS SINCE 1945A History of the State University of New JerseyPaul G. E. Clemens“Rutgers since 1945 achieves two high purposes with distinction and eloquence: it richly recounts how an institution whose origins were private and pre-Revolutionary emerged in the late twentieth century as one of America’s best public research universities, and it deepens our understanding of the momentous developments that shaped and propelled all of higher education in the modern era. Professors and presidents are well represented in Paul Clemens’s book, but its distinguishing feature is an extensive, insightful portrait of students and student life.”—Richard L. McCormick, President Emeritus-Rutgers
Robert Zemsky is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania where he heads The Learning Alliance. A lead-ing voice for American higher edu-cation reform for three decades, his influential works include The Struc-ture of College Choice, the first major study of the market for higher educa-tion; Higher Education as Competitive Enterprise, a comprehensive typology of higher education; and Remaking the American University (Rutgers University Press), presenting a host of new, often radical ways to think about American higher education.
The Case for Transforming American Higher Education
Robert Zemsky
Making Reform Work offers three rules for successful college and university transformation: don’t vilify, don’t play games, and come to the table with a well-thought-out strategy rather than a sharply worded lamentation.
Robert Zemsky, one of a select group of scholars who participated in Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings’s 2005 Commission on the Future of Higher Education, signed off on the commission’s report with reluctance. In Making Reform Work he presents the ideas he believes should have come from that group to forge a practical agenda for change. Zemsky argues that improving higher education will require enlisting facul-ty leadership, on the one hand, and, on the other, a strategy for chang-ing the higher education system writ large.
Directing his attention from what can’t be done to what can be done, Zemsky provides numerous sugges-tions and concludes by proposing a series of dislodging events that could break the gridlock that today holds higher education reform captive.
Education
“Higher education’s best ‘critical friend,’ Bob Zemsky, has crafted a diagnosis and reform agenda that is comprehensive, engaging, and smart. This book should be required reading for anyone who runs a college or university, or purports to make policy in this arena.”
—Peter Ewell,National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS)
“Vintage Zemsky: an insightful, provocative, pragmatic, and downright com-pelling account of what urgently needs changing in American higher educa-tion. A ‘must read.’”
—William F. Massy,Honoring the Trust
“Robert Zemsky distinguishes himself yet again as a premier thought leader for American higher education. He substitutes solid data and uncommon sense for the rhetoric of lament, providing the parameters of pragmatic strat-egies for improving on what is, after all, a remarkably successful but imper-fect system.”
—Joel M. Smith,vice provost and chief information officer, Carnegie Mellon University
Robert Zemsky’s Making Reform Work is a practical narrative of ideas that begins by describing who is saying what about American higher education—who’s angry, who’s disappointed, and why. Most of the pleas for changing American colleges and universities that originate outside the academy are lamentations on a small number of too often repeated themes. The critique from within the academy focuses on issues principally involving money and the power of the market to change colleges and universities. Sandwiched between these perspectives is a public that still has faith in an enterprise that it really doesn’t understand.
