The Book presents a historical overview of higher education in the United States, from the 1940s to the 2000s, focusing on key transformations that reshaped the American university. The text discusses how institutions responded to the rise of post-industrial society and the Cold War, how they adapted to the demands of an expanding and diversifying student body, and how the relationship between government funding, research, and academic freedom evolved during this period. The text further explores issues of gender and racial equality, the rise of interdisciplinary studies, and the changing role of universities in society.
