Review :
"Everyone interested in education will applaud Young for calling the academy to recognize the reasons for its existence.... This book is highly recommAnded, not only for those who work in the academy, but also for those who are eager that the academy stand by and exalt the values prized in higher education." "No Neutral Ground will provoke some and bring praise from others. Written with passion and a personal sense of mission, this book offers something to everyone who cares about institutional values and ethical standards." --Richard T. Ingram, president, Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges "At a time when many critics of higher education lament the separation of competence and conscience in collegiate education, Young's treatment on the values mission of higher education, is a welcome addition to the literature, a reminder that what we know is always servant to what we believe." --E. Grady Bogue, professor, department of Educational Leadership at the University of Tennessee and author of Leadership by Design "No Neutral Ground should be read by everyone who thinks that change begins with programs or personnel. In fact, real change begins with values, and Bob Young writes about the values of higher education with clarity and passion." --Terry O'Banion, executive director, League for Innovation in the Community College
