- catalog abstract ""In The Urban Campus: Educating the New Majority for the Next Century, Peggy Gordon Elliott (president and professor of education at The University of Akron) discusses how major changes in society have created significant implications for the delivery of higher education. Dr. Elliott reveals that we cannot, with any degree of success, educate students while operating under the same assumptions and with the same models that were successful in the past." "The seven chapters of the book explore the development and growth of urban campuses; what an urban campus is and how it works within the community; who makes up the "New Majority" of students; the urban faculty, their challenges and successes; the frustrations and misconceptions related to urban campuses; the ways in which urban colleges and universities play a key role in moving society forward; and the dynamic role urban campuses can play in preparing students for a globally competitive and technologically complex twenty-first century."--Jacket.".
