商品詳細
解説
This title includes a concise history of the United States' Land-Grant universities and Cooperative Extension Service. Extension was judged a success in the 1950s and 1960s, but support for the system has recently come under attack. Dr McDowell argues that while there remains considerable potential benefit to Land-Grant universities through Extension, the system and its function is in peril. The original mission of the Land-Grant university is being renegotiated in some places and abandoned in others. Dr. McDowell recounts the successes of Extension, weighs them against unmet needs, and suggests specific action steps.
