Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Gut. 271 S. A very good copy --- CONTENTS: WHAT'S GONE WRONG AT OUR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES-AND HOW TO GET AMERICAN HIGHER EDUCATION BACK ON TRACK - - A quarter of a million dollars. It's the going tab for four years at most top-tier colleges. Why does it cost so much and is it worth it? - - In this provocative investigation of what really happens on campus today, the renowned sociolo- gist Andrew Hacker and the New York Times writer Claudia Dreifus make an incisive case that the American way of higher education-now a $420 billion per year business-has lost sight of its pri- mary mission: the education of our young people. Going behind the myths and mantras, they probe the true performance of the Ivy League, the baleful influence of tenure, an unhealthy reliance on part- time teachers, and supersized bureaucracies that now have lives of their own. - - As Hacker and Dreifus call for a thorough over- haul of a self-indulgent system, they take read- ers on a road trip from Princeton and Harvard to Evergreen State and Florida Gulf Coast University, revealing those faculties and institutions that need to adjust their priorities and others that are getting it right, proving that teaching and learning can be achieved and at a much more reasonable price. - - For parents wondering if they're getting fair value for their tuition dollars, for students who sense that they are an afterthought to professors and administrators, and for citizens concerned about America's ability to foster innovation and compete in an ever more challenging world, Higher Educa- tion? is a wake-up call and a call to arms. --- CONTENTS: Introduction: Higher Education? - - PART 1: WHAT WENT WRONG? - - 1. The World of the Professoriate - - 2. Administrative Overload - - 3. Contingent Education - - PART 2: IDEALS AND ILLUSIONS - - 4. The Golden Dozen - - 5. Teaching: Good, Great, Abysmal - - 6. The Triumph of Training - - PART 3: SOME IMMODEST PROPOSALS - - 7. Why College Costs So Much - - 8. Fireproof: The Tangled Issue of Tenure - - 9. The Athletics Incubus - - 10. Student Bodies - - PART 4: FACING THE FUTURE - - 11. Visiting the Future in Florida - - 12. The College Crucible: Add Students and Stir - - 13.
