Chapter 8 addresses how the university affects and is affected by the intercollegiate athletic enterprise. Chapters 9, 10, and 11 present the influence and impact of government regulations as well as higher education's efforts to shape policies that further institutional aims, and manage university resources.

Chapter 13 presents an exposé of persons with special needs, a largely overlooked and underserved population within the university. A Teacher's Manual is available to professors. This book also is available in a three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.
