Higher Education Administration for Social Justice and Equity, 2nd Edition empowers all administrators in higher education to engage in their work—to make decisions, hire, mentor, budget, create plans, and carry out other day-to-day operations—with a clear commitment to justice, sensitivity to power and privilege, and capacity to facilitate equitable outcomes. Grounding administration for social justice as a matter of daily work, this book translates abstract concepts and theory into the work of hiring, socialization, budgeting, and decision-making. Contributed chapters by renowned scholars and current practitioners examine the way higher education administration is organized and will help readers both question existing structures and practices, and consider new and different ways of organizing campuses based on equity and social justice. Newly updated throughout, this second edition also includes new coverage of digital pedagogy, philanthropy, community colleges, DEI infrastructure, and exploration of institutional variation. Rich with case studies and pedagogical tools, this book connects theory to practice, and is an invaluable resource for current and aspiring administrators.
“Wouldn’t it be nice, one might say, if instead of silos and power plays, we functioned more like a robust care team, bringing the public in and valuing all rather than heralding a few with power and privilege? That, it seems to me, is the aim of the wise advice in this volume, and a welcome antidote to the divisive and contentious, all too often zero-sum, world in which we too often conduct our work. Here’s to building this other higher education universe.”
From the Foreword by Nancy Cantor,President of Hunter College, City University of New York, USA
