The Moral Dimensions of Academic Administration

Beschreibung

What distinguishes academic administration from administration or managing in business? Rudolph Weingartner, arugues that colleges and universities are founded to serve certain purposes; they are supported by governments and private individuals; and, as professional institutions, they have students, among others, as clients to whom they owe education services in ways analogous to the obligations hospitals have via- -vis their patients. Academic administration is not just another job of managing, but a calling that importantly assists institutions to carry out their missions.
