"More Confusion about HE Accountability" according to G. MCGHEE. It is hard to tell who the intended audience is for this anthology. Although it is written by a bunch of highly placed HE policy wonks nearing retirement, a clear picture of 'accountability in higher education' fails to emerge after reading it. This is probably due to the fact that the theoretical construct used throughout to bring coherence to the bal. "Very Good" according to R Smith. I have read *lots* of higher education books and articles, ranging from the dry and stale (history of colleges) to the irrelevant (Review of Higher Education) to the over-researched (student affairs and development). Ironically, the topics covered in this book will have a more profound impact on higher education than anything ever written in the areas . Linda Baer said Five Stars. Excellent book on the relationship between assessment, accountability and accreditation.
"It is an excellent resource for those who wish to further policy development toward better accountability in higher education." (Journal of College Student Development, March/April 2006)
