Praise for Promise and Betrayal
"With rich examples, including Yale, Penn, Marquette, and the University of
Louisville, the authors provide a long-awaited analysis of where the ties
between universities and communities stand today, and the directions they
must be headed in if the American dream of one society is ever to be
realized." — Neal Peirce, The Washington Post Writers Group

Summary
Traditionally, institutions of higher education have been viewed as the
gateway to a better future, despite the fact that so many of the
neighborhoods surrounding them have been filled with hopelessness and
despair. In Promise and Betrayal, the authors want nothing less than to
start a revolution in higher education, calling on partnerships between "town
and gown" to create sustainable urban neighborhoods. John I. Gilderbloom
and R. L. Mullins Jr. detail how higher education institutions can play an
important role in helping to revitalize our poor neighborhoods by forming
partnerships with public, private, and nonprofit groups. They advocate
leaving the "ivory tower" and supplying the community with expert
knowledge as well as creative and technical resources. (For more detail
