'Remaking the American University' provides analysis of the ways market forces have shaped and distorted the behaviours, purposes, and ultimately the missions of universities and colleges over the past half-century.

Checklist for Change diagnoses the problems in American higher education today and describes principal reforms that must occur in combination in order for it to remain a vital enterprise: a fundamental recasting of federal financial aid; new mechanisms for better channeling the competition among colleges and universities; recasting the undergraduate curriculum; and a stronger, more collective faculty voice in governance that defines not why, but how the enterprise must change.

Describes who is saying what about American higher education - who's angry, who's disappointed, and why. This book argues that improving higher education will require enlisting faculty leadership, on the one hand, and, on the other, a strategy for changing the higher education system writ large.
