About the Author

Myles Brand was a distinguished philosopher and academic leader whose career bridged the worlds of intellectual inquiry and higher education administration. Born in 1942, he earned his PhD in philosophy from the University of Minnesota and went on to hold prominent positions, including president of the University of Indiana and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Brand's scholarly work delved into the philosophy of action, mind, and ethics, while his administrative legacy focused on advancing educational access and integrity in collegiate sports. His book 'Postbaccalaureate Futures: New Markets, Resources, Credentials (American Council on Education Oryx Press Series on Higher Education)' offers prescient insights into the evolving landscape of post-graduate education, exploring emerging markets, resource allocation, and credentialing in an era of rapid change. Brand's thoughtful analyses continue to influence discussions on the future of learning and institutional reform until his passing in 2009.
