What's Public about Public Higher Ed?
"This book uses survey data to examine public sentiment regarding higher education, focusing on such critical issues as how universities spend taxpayer money, the pursuit of national rankings, student financial aid, and the interplay of international activities versus efforts to create "closer to home" impact. Building on their previous book Land-Grant Universities for the Future, the coauthors unflinchingly present a no-holds-barred exploration of what citizens really think about their public universities"--
Law and Public Education
Although primarily a legal work, Law and Public Education also addresses historical, pedagogical, economic, and other social science literature.

This book examines topics within the intersection of law, policy, and higher education. These topics include governance and authority, premises liability, campus health and safety concerns, student free speech rights, religion and campus policies, student conduct and due process, academic freedom and expressions pursuant to official duties, intercollegiate athletics and rights of players, students struggling with mental health, employee discrimination claims, and intellectual property and commercialization efforts.

Leading Colleges and Universities
"Building on research from Presidencies Derailed: Why University Leaders Fail and How to Prevent It, Gerald B. Kauvar, Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, and E. Gordon Gee approach the matter of college and university leadership from a positive angle: what lessons can we learn from successful college and university leaders? The rolodex of authors--a veritable Who's Who in American Higher Education today--reveal the secret to success in leading institutions with real-life examples. Not content with vague answers or clichéd platitudes, the authors provide specifics on a list of core questions: how do you manage college athletics, the faculty, a governing board, donors, and a local community? How do you control an institutional budget and investment portfolio? What do you need to know about crisis management and legal affairs? When should you be outspoken in the media and when should you shut up? Leading Colleges and Universities is a primer on how successful presidents lead successful schools"--
