HIGHER EDUCATION is facing hard times. Faculty lounges and higher education journals are full of discussions about retrenchment, student retention, teaching effectiveness, faculty morale, gender issues, grade inflation, diversity, decline in faculty numbers and dominance, the changing student population, online education, and other challenges.
