| Summary |
"Higher Education: Open for Business presents a critique of the emergence of commercial values in a system reserved for learning and scholastic inquiry. Through closer examination of academic areas such as the campus environment, the classroom, academic research, and college sports, the reader is made aware that we have to consider carefully whether we want to turn a "college nation" into a "college corporation.""--BOOK JACKET |
