EDLF 8665 - Contemporary Issues in Higher Education

Public as well as private and for-profit colleges and universities face increasing competition for students, faculty, and leaders and need to maximize revenue through private gifts and corporate as well as public support. These demands require them to behave entrepreneurially and to reconsider the essential purposes of the university. This course will explore the origins and purposes of the new entrepreneurialism in the U.S. higher education system and internationally, considering examples from areas such as institutional development, links to corporations, and connections to local and state economic development.
