While strident calls for reform accelerate, resources for higher education have weakened. Thus, demands to improve college education abound amidst hard times.

Moreover, these academic leaders provide possible remedies to make college better through more strategic policies and practices.

Making College Better will appeal to all those interested in the future of higher education, including students, college administrators and other higher education personnel, parents, legislators and other officials, and public and private sector leaders.
