Περίληψη: For more than two decades, "A History of American Higher Education" has been the gold standard account of how colleges and universities shaped--and were shaped by--American society. In this fully revised fourth edition, John R. Thelin extends that history into a period of profound upheaval. The new edition adds a substantial final chapter examining the years from 2020 through 2025, a time marked by pandemic disruption, political conflict, demographic change, and growing challenges to the legitimacy of higher education itself. Thelin addresses campus closures and remote instruction, congressional scrutiny and protest movements, shifting patterns of philanthropy, debates over admissions and access, the commercialization of college sports, and the accelerating role of technology in teaching and learning. Together, these developments reveal an institution under extraordinary strain--and one whose future direction remains unsettled. Throughout, Thelin preserves the narrative clarity and interpretive balance that made earlier editions essential reading. Moving from colonial colleges to mass higher education, from the rise of the federal grant university to its present-day erosion, he situates contemporary crises within a longer history of adaptation, conflict, and reform. Comprehensive and authoritative, "A History of American Higher Education" remains indispensable for students, scholars, and anyone seeking to understand how American colleges and universities arrived at their current crossroads.
