DANIEL M. JOHNSON
The Uncertain Future of American Public Higher Education “Johnson kicks a hornet’s nest of issues confronting our revered system of higher education. While various constituents of higher ed may be inclined to nitpick his litany of insights, they would do so at their collective peril. The unintended consequences of sticking with the status quo or tinkering at the margins could have dire effects. This is a clarion call for bold and innovative change.” —Lee Gorsuch, President Emeritus, City University of Seattle, USA “The Uncertain Future of American Public Higher Education is a must-read for all of our country’s higher education leaders, from university presidents, to governing boards, to state and federal policy makers. A former university president himself, Johnson draws on his many years of experience: first defending the status quo, then aggressively leading needed change and candidly identifying the sacred academic traditions that have created this crisis.” —Tom Brady, Entrepreneur and Former Dean of Education at University of Toledo, USA “This thought-provoking book goes to the heart of why restructuring our entire education system is critical for our nation and our students’ future. He shines a bright light on what changes need to be made.” —Bob Holden, Governor of Missouri, 2001–2005 “Dan Johnson articulates the necessity for a strong and effective higher education system by addressing the critical challenges it faces and offering potential solutions in the areas of leadership, planning, tuition, educational attainment, quality and efficiency, tenure, and intercollegiate athletics. This is a must read for policymakers, university presidents, politicians, journalists, university trustees and regents.” —James M. Tuschman, Former Chairman, Ohio Board of Regents
