ABSTRACT: Out of the many external forces that influence
college campuses, there are four that have had (or are
likely to have) a major impact on the fortunes of higher
education. The ways in which college and university
officials and friends react to these forces can make an
enormous difference to the future of higher education. The
forces are: (1) Federal Government mandates to conform to
new social norms, i.e., affirmative action, elimination of
age discrimination, occupational safety and health, minimum
wage and fair labor standards, unemployment insurance,
social security, health maintenance organizations,
Employment Retirement Income Security Act provisions, wage
and salary controls, environmental protection, privacy
laws,
etc.; (2) accountability; (3) the political economy, that
is, inflation, unemployment, energy costs, and erratic
investment dividends, and (4) impact of public
disenchantment with colleges and universities. (Author/KE)
