“Joseph L. DeVitis and Pietro A. Sasso go beyond presenting provocative, controversial topics by addressing their pros and cons and providing questions that will generate robust dialogue among students, faculty, and higher education professionals. I look forward to using this book in a wide range of courses, for example, law, ethics, organizational administration, disability education, social justice issues, and internships. The possibilities are endless. This is a must read and a must use!”—Karen A. Myers, Associate Professor and Program Director, Higher Education Administration, and Director of the Ability Institute, Saint Louis University “Higher education seems in flux and confused in the 21st century. Students are rising up, faculty life is changing rapidly, leaders are becoming more difficult to find, and funding is uncertain. In Colleges at the Crossroads, Joseph L. DeVitis and Pietro A. Sasso invite readers to grapple with current issues in higher education from multiple perspectives while also urging them to challenge the very notion of higher education as we know it.”—Marybeth Gasman, Judy and Howard Berkowitz Professor of Education, University of Pennsylvania, and Director of the Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions
