Understanding campus unrest and the politics of higher education
This examination explains how student protests, faculty perspectives, and university governance shape today’s colleges. It contrasts peaceful demonstrations with violence and shows why campuses became a focal point for national debates about education, society, and power.
This edition surveys the roots of dissatisfaction, the rival views on university neutrality and participation, and how broader political questions influence campus life. It also discusses how students see the purpose of higher education and how universities respond to pressures from government, business, and the community. The text places campus events in a wider discussion of democracy, policy, and accountability.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines campus unrest on American college campuses over the past few years, referring to it as a crisis of violence and a crisis of understanding. The author analyzes the complex web of reasons for the events experienced on a number of campuses including student dissatisfaction with the traditional missions of universities and colleges and the changing nature of student demographics. Also analyzed: the nature of the protests - which range from peaceful demonstrations to instances of violence and arson. The author places these events within a larger historical context where student unrest has often been a force for social change. The book explores the various ideological divides leading to campus unrest including a generation gap, divergent political perspectives, the assertiveness of minorities, and a yearning for more say in how universities are governed. The author concludes that it is more than likely that these campus protests will continue so long as these underlying tensions are not addressed.
