Abstract

The history of American higher education requires understanding the significant impact of private philanthropy. Even given the long relationship, today’s higher education fundraising practices are professionalized to an extent never before seen. The university in America today is in constant communication with a variety of internal and external stakeholders through a range of media. As messaging has significant ramifications for a university, including financial consequences, communications and development have become an omnipresent and highly professionalized feature of the university. This chapter provides an analysis of website research which suggests that development offices are highly institutionalized and professional fundraisers serve as leaders in the modern American university.

Fußnoten

The inscription reads “After God had carried us safe to New England, and had builded our houses, provided necessaries for our livelihood, reared convenient places for God’s worship, and settled the civil government: one of the next things we longed for, and looked after was to advance learning and perpetuate it to posterity; dreading to leave an illiterate ministry to the churches when our present ministers shall lie in the dust.”
