Those of us who have devoted our life's work to improving the delivery of educational programs and services to students will appreciate Balderston's comprehensive view of our work setting.\" (Journal of College Student Development) FREDERICK E. BALDERSTON is professor emeritus, Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley, and executive vice president of the Bernard Osher Foundation in San Francisco. When first published in 1974, Frederick E. Balderston's Managing Today's University was hailed as a classic in the literature of higher education management. Now, in this new, fully revised edition, Balderston offers an up-to-date and comprehensive view of current management challenges, placing them within an equally comprehensive understanding of the scope and purpose of today's university.Covering the full range of topics--from the basics of university organization to acquisition and management of resources, academic focus, quality, and strategic issues--the author examines the most critical questions facing administrators, trustees, faculty leaders, and all those who provide analytical support to institutional leaders.Balderston offers advice on an array of fundamental administrative functions, as well as on meeting the challenge of values issues such as diversity and political correctness. He offers a framework for directing institutions through the critical processes of governance and leadership. He explains the complexities of financial issues such as budgeting, revenues and enrollment, and financial aid. And he examines the basic question of defining and achieving strategic direction for the university as a whole. \"Rarely does one have the opportunity to read such a comprehensive and wise discussion about the complexities of managing the modern university. Balderston's revisit of his 1974 classic is on the 'must read' list for serious students and practitioners of university governance.\" —Kenneth P.
