Editor’s Notes (Brian Pusser).

1. Entrepreneurship in Higher Education (David W. Breneman).
All sectors of higher education have become more entrepreneurial in the face of political and economic pressures.

2. The Business Culture of the Community College: Students as Consumers; Students as Commodities (John S. Levin).
An escalating commitment to the economic purposes of the community college has weakened its historical focus on student access, student development, and a comprehensive curriculum.

3. Entrepreneurial Activity in Nonprofit Institutions: A Portrait of Continuing Education(Brian Pusser, Bruce M. Gansneder, Ned Gallaway, Nakia S. Pope).
Many continuing education programs develop entrepreneurial ap-proaches similar to those in ­for-profit enterprises.

4. Entrepreneurial Organization at the Academic Core: The Case of Summer Sessions (Dudley J. Doane, Brian Pusser).
Summer sessions programs demonstrate significant entrepreneurial activity near the academic core of postsecondary institutions.

5. The Role of Noncredit Courses in Serving Nontraditional Learners (John Milam).
A better understanding of data collection on credit and noncredit courses is essential for institutional responsiveness to student needs.

6. A Profile of Regionally Accredited ­For-Profit Institutions of Higher Education (Kevin Kinser).
Regionally accredited ­for-profit institutions of higher education are a diverse group, competing with nonprofit institutions in numerous ways.

7. The Unspoken Is Being Undone: The Market’s Impact on Higher Education’s Public Purposes (Lara K. Couturier).
The traditional compact between higher education and the public is endangered by contemporary political and economic pressures and competition.
