"Annette Kolodny has turned her articulate mind and her marvelous imagination to the world of academic leadership. Failing the Future is personally moving, with a sharp and honest focus, and it should be read by all those who care about the future of higher education."-Barry Munitz, President and Chief Executive Officer of the J. Paul Getty Trust and former Chancellor of the California State University System, "This book should lead to an opening of the American mind. It is possibly the best book on higher education in the last decade. It is full of ideas that one needs to wrestle with, discuss, and chew over in faculty lounges, over e-mail, in journals, and in faculty senates. Failing the Future shows us not only what we must do, but explains HOW."-Emily Toth, author of Ms. Mentor's Impeccable Advice for Women in Academia, "This is a welcome and outstanding work. Particularly at this time, with the avalanche of right-wing and largely mindless criticism of universities, this book clearly sets forth the actual situation, the real problems, and suggests useful and possible solutions to the complex situation of higher education in our country today."-Carolyn Heilbrun, Avalon Professor in the Humanities Emerita, Columbia University, "This is a welcome and outstanding work.
