      abstract = {A provocative look at the troubled present state of  American higher education and a passionately argued and  learned manifesto for its future. Educator Mark C. Taylor  expands on the ideas in his hugely controversial 2009 New  York Times op-ed. His suggestions for the ivory tower are  both thought-provoking and rigorous: End tenure.  Restructure departments to encourage greater cooperation  among existing disciplines. Emphasize teaching rather than  increasingly rarefied research. And bring that teaching to  new domains, using emergent networks to connect students  worldwide. Taylor shows us the consequences of decades of  organizational neglect: students chafing under the  restrictions of traditional higher education, recent  graduates with massive debts and unpromising jobs, anxious  parents anticipating inflated future tuitions.  Accommodating the students of today and anticipating those  of tomorrow, attuned to schools' financial woes and the  skyrocketing cost of education, Taylor imagines a new  system, improvisational, responsive and innovative.--From  publisher description.},
