Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
This drastically changed climate in which research universities and other institutions of higher education now function has led to grave doubts about how these institutions will operate in the fuiture. In The Research University in a Time of Discontent distonguished scholars address this concern, drwaing examples and making recommendations based on their own experience as academic administrators and faculty members.
In essays both learned and provocative?with new contributions enriching the collection previously published in Daedalus?these leading authorities on higher education policy and practice address a variety of important concerns:
? institutional leadership and governance
? competition among institutions and within disciplines
? the erosion of public trust
? "grade inflation" and the perversion of the academic reward system
? the challenges of diversity
? federal science policy
? increased competition for limited research funds
? the place of teaching within the research university
The book's key themes are managerial problems, internal politics, student-related issues and the perennial question of funding and resources.
