Summary:

Building the Responsive Campus offers a critique of modern academe as well as a proposal for making campuses more effective -- that is, better at meeting clients' and customers' needs. William G. Tierney addresses the problems that many academic institutions have today in clinging to the practices and organization of the past. He argues that institutions of higher learning are in need of dramatic organizational changes. The chapters look at key critical issues -- faculty roles and rewards, presidential leadership, strategic planning, assessments and evaluation -- utilizing the latest ideas to bring about structural reform and high performance.
