Opis

This text explores the organizational reponses of professional schools and colleges to pressures, demands, requirements, expectations and incentives related to diversity. As such, it takes a view of post-secondary institutions (and their various academic and administrative units) as open systems engaged in complex interrelationships with other organizations, such that key commitments, priorities, interests, agendas and strategies are directed and shaped by an array of forces.
