On Higher Education: Selected Writings, 1956-2006
The collection is simply astonishing and thrilling... To have this large selection of essays in one place is a gift to those of us working in the field... The collection will soon be referred to as 'classic.'(Sheldon Rothblatt, University of California, Berkeley)It provides a solid foundation in higher education both here in the United States and internationally. The breadth and depth of the essays are highly compelling, and in fact, this book could easily be used in a course on institutional governance, organizational change, or higher education in general... Clark's essays, hard work, and intellectual curiosity [are] a lesson for all of us.(Marybeth GasmanJournal of College Student Development)The perfect read for those interested in higher education, and especially for those interested in the evolution of the field.(John Aubrey DouglassContemporary Sociology)Clark provides not only a grounded understanding of the inner life of higher education organizations but also a grounded understanding of his personal academic journey and of the 'absorbing errand' that has comprised his highly successful and distinguished professional career.(Caroline Sotello Viernes TurnerReview of Higher Education)
