Reviews

In authoring How Universities Work, Lombardi provides his expert, honest, and, at times, cynical treatise on the complexities of university management... The witty yet succinct treatment he uses to convey his message makes the book a quick read... The book will be a welcome addition to any faculty or administrators' library.
