Abstract "This is the first book to take a critical look at the complex, multi-generational challenges in the higher education workplace. It is timely given declining enrollments and budget cuts in higher education and the need to maximize multi-generational talent. Chun and Evans present extensive qualitative research that shows that ageism disproportionately affects women and minorities at both ends of the age spectrum in higher education. The book is a valuable resource to the higher education community in its efforts to restructure approaches to operations, policies, and practices in response to current external exigencies. The book provides a comprehensive array of best practice human resource and diversity strategies that will assist higher education in responding to emerging pressures by optimizing the capabilities of multi-generational talent"-- Provided by publisher.
