"Challenges in Higher Education Leadership provides expert perspectives and advice from cutting-edge researchers and top practitioners who have done the hard work of leading at institutions across the country. This book issues a clear call for educators to get beyond disciplinary and institutional silos in order to tackle the challenges buffeting higher education such as, rapid demographic and technological change; socioeconomic stratification; and disinvestment in research. Most important, the authors provide real examples of how to do just that."
