Review: Crisis in Higher Education: A Plan to Save Small Liberal Arts Colleges in America (Transformations in Higher Education) Small liberal arts colleges are facing a crisis. Enrollment is declining, and funding is scarce. In this book, the authors present a plan to save these institutions from extinction. They argue that small liberal arts colleges have a unique value proposition that sets them apart from larger universities. By focusing on personalized education and community engagement, these schools can attract students who are looking for something more than just a degree. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the challenges facing small liberal arts colleges. The second part presents a series of case studies that illustrate how these institutions have successfully navigated similar crises in the past. Finally, the third part offers practical advice for college administrators and faculty on how to implement the plan outlined in the book. One of the strengths of this book is its focus on community engagement. The authors argue that small liberal arts colleges should be more than just academic institutions; they should also be active members of their local communities. By engaging with local businesses, non-profits, and government agencies, these schools can create partnerships that benefit both the college and the community. Another strength is the book's emphasis on personalized education. The authors argue that small liberal arts colleges should offer more flexible curricula that allow students to pursue their interests and passions. By doing so, they can attract students who are looking for a more individualized educational experience. However, one weakness of the book is its focus on financial sustainability. While the authors provide some practical advice on how small liberal arts colleges can generate revenue, they do not offer much in the way of innovative funding models. This may be because the book was written before the COVID-19 pandemic, which has had a profound impact on higher education finances. Overall, this is a well-written and thoughtful book that provides valuable insights into the challenges facing small liberal arts colleges. It offers practical advice for college administrators and faculty on how to navigate these challenges and create a more sustainable future for these institutions.
