Between citizens and the state
This book tracks the dramatic outcomes of the federal government's growing involvement in higher education between World War I and the 1970s, and the conservative backlash against that involvement from the 1980s onward. Using cutting-edge analysis, Christopher Loss recovers higher education's central importance to the larger social and political history of the United States in the twentieth century, and chronicles its transformation into a key mediating institution between citizens and the state.
Framed around the three major federal higher education policies of the twentieth century--the 1944 GI Bill, the 1958 National Defense Education Act, and the 1965 Higher Education Act--the book charts the federal government's various efforts to deploy education to ready citizens for the national, bureaucratized, and increasingly global world in which they lived. Loss details the myriad ways in which academic leaders and students shaped, and were shaped by, the state's shifting political agenda as it moved from a preoccupation with economic security during the Great Depression, to national security during World War II and the Cold War, to securing the rights of African Americans, women, and other previously marginalized groups during the 1960s and '70s. Along the way, Loss reappraises the origins of higher education's current-day diversity regime, the growth of identity group politics, and the privatization of citizenship at the close of the twentieth century.
At a time when people's faith in government and higher education is being sorely tested, this book sheds new light on the close relations between American higher education and politics.

New Google Glass chief Ivy Ross not your typical techie
\"When I rebuilt this house, I just knew it would be around that,\" she says, pointing to an outdoor deck that wraps carefully around an enormous tree trunk. \"In past cities I'd say, 'This is my house,' and here I say, 'This is my home.' It's interesting to be conscious of the words you use.\" \"I know they'd been talking to people more like them, more engineering-oriented,\" says Ross in an exclusive conversation with USA TODAY. \"But they connected the dots. (At companies such as Mattel, Coach and the Gap), I designed products, came up with marketing campaigns and solved consumer needs with innovation. And somewhere in there I also designed eyeglass frames for seven years. My whole career prepared me for this job.\" \"Retail isn't one of our strong suits, and someone like Ivy can, more than a technologist, really help us understand how people experience eyewear, because in the end this is just smart eyewear,\" says [Teller]. \"Besides ticking all the boxes, she's a warm person who brings out the best in people. And she's got patience, which everyone will need throughout this evolution.\"
