Letters to the Next President: Strengthening America’s Foundation in Higher Education Letters to the Next President: Strengthening America’s Foundation in Higher Education
Edited by Stephen Joel Trachtenberg and Gerald B. Kauvar
American preeminence in higher education is at risk. As the 2008 presidential election nears, the future of education should clearly be an overriding issue among both the candidates and the American voting public.
Being in the business of people, Korn/Ferry too is committed to helping prepare the next generation of leaders for our dynamic and agile global economy. Earlier this year, Korn/Ferry and its research arm, the Korn/Ferry Institute, sought policy recommendations from higher education’s brightest minds designed to secure one of our nation’s most precious natural resources.
These 21 thoughtful essays – written by leaders across the spectrum of American higher education, from community colleges to state systems to Ivy League institutions – tackle tough issues like access and affordability; articulation from high school to college and the world of work; creating alliances with government, industry and our communities; the role of international exchanges of students and scholars; and strengthening each leg of the triad of creation, dissemination and preservation of knowledge.
Printed copies of this book are available in a limited quantity for the general public. If you would like to obtain a copy, please email global.marketing@kornferry.com.
