DESCRIPTION
COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/1421426854 Land-grant colleges and
universities have a storied past. This book looks at their future.Land-grant colleges and
universities occupy a special place in the landscape of American higher education. Publicly funded
agricultural and technical educational institutions were first founded in the mid-nineteenth century
with the Morrill Act, which established land grants to support these schools. They include such
prominent names as Cornell, Maryland, Michigan State, MIT, Ohio State, Penn State, Rutgers,
Texas A&M West Virginia University, Wisconsin, and the University of
California―inother words, four dozen of the largest and best public universities in America.
Add to this a number of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and tribal
colleges―inall, almost 300 institutions. Their mission is a democratic and pragmatic one: to
bring science, technology, agriculture, and the arts to the American people.In this book, Stephen
M. Gavazzi and E. Gordon Gee discuss present challenges to and future opportunities for these
institutions. Drawing on interviews with 27 college presidents and chancellors, Gavazzi and Gee
explore the strengths and weaknesses of land-grant universities while examining the changing
threats they face. Arguing that the land-grant university of the twenty-first century is responsible to
a wide range of constituencies, the authors also pay specific attention to the ways these
universities meet the needs of the communities they serve. Ultimately, the book suggests that
leaders and supporters should become more fiercely land-grant in their orientation that is, they
should work to more vigorously uphold their community-focused missions through teaching,
research, and service-oriented activities.Combining extensive research with Gee’sown
decades of leadership experience, Land-Grant Universities for the Future argues that these
schools are the engine of higher education in America―an perhaps democracy’sbest
hope. This book should be of great interest to faculty members and students, as well as those
parents, legislators, policymakers, and other area stakeholders who have a vested interest in the
well-being of America’soriginal public universities.
