Editorials
D. Stanley Carpenter
This reviewer knows of no other book of cases that are geared precisely for student affairs administrators, so in some sense the editors are competing with themselves. They are winning. The revisions in the book are well taken and the cases seem a little more vibrant, a bit more political in some places, a slightly sharpened turn on diversity in others, the perfect addition of a regent as a player in yet another. This is good work that fills a need in the field-until we need some new cases to reflect the issues of the next decade!.Book Details
