SUMMARY:James Shulman discusses his new book The Synthetic University
DESCRIPTION:US colleges and universities have long been the envy of the world. Institutional autonomy has fostered creativity among faculty\, students\, and staff. But this autonomy means that colleges tend to create their own solutions for every need. As a result\, higher education suffers from costly redundancies that drive tuitions ever upward\, putting higher education\, essential to the fabric of the country\, at risk. Instead of wishful thinking about collaboration or miraculous subsidies\, The Synthetic University describes intermediary organizations that can provide innovative\, cost-effective solutions. \nOffering answers to challenges jointly faced by thousands of institutions\, James Shulman lays out a compelling new vision of how to reduce spending while enabling schools to maintain their particular contributions. He explains why colleges are so resistant to change and presents illuminating case studies of mission-driven and market-supported entrepreneurial organizations–such as the student tracking infrastructure of the National Student Clearinghouse or the ambitious effort of classics professors to create a shared transinstitutional department. Mixing theory with lessons drawn from his own experience\, he demonstrates how to finance and implement the organizations that can synthesize much-needed solutions.
