The Academy in Crisis: The Political Economy of Higher Education"The Academy in Crisis is a provocative contribution to an important debate....The costs of goverment support for American universities are not negligible. They include stress on some of the core values of universities and of science-vaules like openness, collaboration, and collegiality-and pressure, too, on other central institutional responsibilities, such as the education of undergradutes." Robert M. Rosenzweig, former president, Association of American Universities |
