Summary
"Americans can't get a good education for love or money. So argues Stanley Aronowitz in this look at the structure and curriculum of higher education. Universities have made bottom-line management, fund-raising, and private partnerships with corporations priorities over their obligations to educate students. And as Aronowitz clearly shows, when universities do get around to the task of teaching, they approach students as customers who need credentials."--Jacket.
