Recenzje

"Not since the Great Influenza pandemic of 1918 have institutions of higher education faced a health crisis like that brought on by COVID-19. Of course, the societal and technological differences between the pandemics of 2020 and 1918 are vast. The studies conducted for Understanding Individual Experiences of COVID-19 to Inform Policy and Practice in Higher Education provide more than just a snapshot of how faculty, staff, and students at one institution dealt with the terrifying effects of the COVID-19 pandemic but a detailed and insightful analysis of how one institution responded to the crisis. It will be useful to higher education scholars now and to historians in the future."

"This book is an important read for campus leaders who continue to make decisions in times of crisis. From a comprehensive study on one campus, the authors highlight the intended and unintended consequences of crisis decisions and the implications of those on how members of the campus community thrive."
