Abstract	Where is the manual on American higher education in the 21st century? In this article, the author argues that there is none and that it is up to the federal government and higher education leaders to provide this strategic vision. She further states that the federal government and higher education leaders must have the vision to see where higher education can take them in a future where both freedom and competition are on the move. At the same time, they must clearly see the conditions that lead to a well-educated citizenry. They must hold themselves accountable for providing them. If they do those two things, they will help the next generation realize the long-held promise of higher education--a stake in the American experiment and a shot at the American dream. It is a major step toward what the president calls the "Ownership Society" and the "security, dignity, and independence" it would bring. (ERIC).
