The New Flagship University Reviews

"Douglass and the other involved authors offer a very rich and differentiated picture of the university and its many facets, a refreshing perspective in contrast to the often emphasized narrative of rankings and world class universities. ... this book is a much needed alternative to the current paradigm of university excellence, interesting to read and well written, as well as a promising narrative both for future research and policymaking ... ." (Philipp Friedrich, European Journal of Higher Education, March, 2017)
