Produktbeschreibung
"Rhode approaches a familiar subject in unusual and creative ways, artfully synthesizing vast materials from different fields and sources. Her sober ethical argument is sure to stimulate debate among scholars and professional leaders in higher education."--Ted Youn, Boston College "Among the spate of recent accounts of the state of American higher education, In Pursuit of Knowledge stands out. It's an insider's dissection of university life, written with crispness and clarity. This nicely balanced, but never namby-pamby, account eschews ideology for critical analysis. It makes essential reading for anyone seeking a fresh perspective on such contentious questions as the caliber of college teaching, the uses and abuses of academic freedom, and the capacity of today's academic managers to lead their institutions effectively."--David L. Kirp, author of Shakespeare, Einstein, and the Bottom Line, University of California, Berkeley
