Beyond 2020

"In Beyond 2020: Envisioning the Future of Universities in America, higher education experts in a host of fields project into the future and paint a clear picture of the future university. Nearly two-dozen scholars, including James J. Duderstadt and Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, provide the most detailed road map yet to the perils and promise of the Information Age as it directly applies to academia." "This is a collection of frank opinions and observations from forward-thinking experts on the front lines of academia with the best views on how to prepare the healthiest possible institution of tomorrow. It is something akin to an academic prophesy, but grounded in the expertise of a combined several centuries' worth of higher education experience."--book jacket.
