By William A. Ihlenfeldt, Ph.D.
What will higher education look like in 20 years? Will a bachelor’s degree still be viable—or even valuable? How will we assess learning? Will it be competency based? Determined by the sum experience of individual achievement? Or measured by student peers? How will learning be delivered? In the classroom? Over the internet? Or through mobile devices untethered by time and place? And by whom? By professors dedicated to their disciplines, by volunteers driven by a passion to share, or by new kinds of learning communities, as yet unimagined? This much is certain: education is changing. But today, the higher education community is struggling with serious challenges: budget dollars are tighter than ever; our capacity to admit students who want an education has diminished sharply; and in the U.S., our standing as the premier global provider of advanced education is slipping. Imagining a new future for higher education will require vision—a creative capacity to see what might be possible for tomorrow’s learners—and resolve—the ability to assess risk, forge new kinds of partnerships, and move confidently toward goals, even under difficult circumstances. SunGard Higher Education worked closely with Dr. Ihlenfeldt over the years as he worked tirelessly to shape a new future for Chippewa Valley Technical College. Today CVTC boasts a nationally recognized faculty, state-of-the art facilities and equipment, online and blended classrooms, and partnerships with area businesses that help to sustain a community. Visionary leadership informed by careful analysis can make a tremendous difference in people’s lives. These are skills Bill shares with all of us in his book, Visionary Leadership. Its publication couldn’t be timelier and SunGard Higher Education is proud to sponsor its publication.

By Joseph S.C. Simplicio Ph.D.
Life can be unfair at times. It appears so can working at a university. Our universities are unfortunately a microcosm of our larger society. They mirror what occurs in the “real world.” As such they are prone to the same societal and personal frailties that plague the rest of America and its working force. While a university’s mission, vision, and goals may espouse loftier ambitions, in the end, it must deal with an imperfect system that often prevents it from achieving those ideals. What’s Hiding Behind Those Ivy Covered Walls? An Expose On America’s Universities takes a closer look at these schools from a different perspective, that of an insider who has spent decades plodding through the back corridors of many such institutions in an attempt to make a difference. It unveils the often harsh realities of campus life for those who have chosen to work at these schools. It discusses campus culture, tradition, and politics. It examines who is hired and why. It explores both the formal and informal bureaucratic hierarchy. It speaks to the leadership within these schools as well as strategies employed to gain professional and personal influence and power. It offers a better understanding of the perspective of those who work there. It also delves into the intricacies of survival and the promises of advancement. In the end, it provides a candid, unvarnished, and honest look at just what is really occurring on our nation’s campuses.

This book, Volume I, contains true short stories from the real world as experienced and seen through the eyes of the author. Its purpose is to share many of this life's lessons which accentuate thinking and thought production of the reader. Within these contents, there are true stories with which readers can relate, i.e., there is something for nearly everyone. By the time most of us have reached the latter part of our lives, we have experienced and seen things which can be helpful to those whom have not reached our ages. This book is a learning tool. Between these covers, you will find stories which deal with politics, power, pettiness, ethics, morality, spirituality, legal and illegal behaviors and practices with which we are all faced on a frequent basis. It is the intention of this author for this work to be helpful to those who follow. Even before my teens, something drew me to older people. Somehow I knew that they were aware of things which could be helpful to me. Most of the time, when I paid attention to their advice and instruction, I was able to learn how to avoid making the mistakes they had experienced before me.
