Overview

In this multi-faceted case study of one progressive institution of adult higher education, the editors and contributors to the volume lay out significant challenges confronting not just non-traditional post-secondary colleges and universities but all institutions of higher education in today's rapidly changing context. Contending that non-traditional institutions are especially challenged in these turbulent times, they argue that these organizations' distinctive academic programs are among the most threatened in the landscape of higher education today.

This book is a remarkably candid and honest self-study of Empire State College (ESC), as many faculty, administrators, and students struggle to remain true to the institution's historic roots as SUNY's flagship of progressivism. The editors and contributors to this volume have experienced life at ESC as participant observers, tossed between ideals and realities. The result is a book that speaks not only to the travails facing progressive institutions but all institutions in today's chaotic academic environment. - Tom Heaney, National Louis University, USA, in Adult Education Quarterly, 2019, Vol. 69 (1)
