Since 1989, forty-six private colleges have closed. Most of these failing simply because they remained rooted in tradition and resisted changing with the demands of our evolving higher education market. This book addresses this worsening crisis by examining the best practices of both traditional and non-traditional educational institutions, looking beyond the now antiquated labels "for-profit" and "not for-profit" to get to the crux of what currently is and isn't working in real world application.

The Horace Mann of this generation.,
By
This review is from: Survivor College (Paperback)
David Harpool has proven his expertise and grasp on matters plaguing our higher education institutions. This well written, analysis of tradition, business and outlook should be read by every educator, professor and administrator. Harpool is really the second coming of Horace Mann and this book really proves it.

An eye-opening read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Survivor College (Paperback)
I found the book to be insightful and incredibly honest in its handling of some of the most hotly debated elements of higher education.This book will validate some of the secret thoughts that have crept across the minds of many junior administrators as well as potentially infuriate some of the old guard. I am anxious to see what subjects the author takes on next.

A Challenge to College Administrators,
By A Customer
This review is from: Survivor College (Paperback)
Dr. Harpool's book is a must read for college administrators striving to stay ahead of the curve. During this time of fiscal belt-tightening "Survivor College" provides creative and insightful solutions for those trying to deal with the changing landscape of higher education.I found the book easy to read, easy to understand and very applicable to the issues facing college administrators on a daily basis. Harpool does a nice job a helping college administrators identify issues and how to challenge the status quo.
