Benjamin Ginsberg

The Fall of the Faculty

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Until very recently, American universities were led mainly by their faculties, which viewed intellectual production and pedagogy as the core missions of higher education. Today, as Benjamin Ginsberg warns in this eye-opening, controversial book, "deanlets"¿administrators and staffers often without serious academic backgrounds or experience¿are setting the educational agenda. The Fall of the Faculty examines the fallout of rampant administrative blight thatnow plagues the nation's universities and outlines how we can revamp the system so that real educators can regain their voice in curriculum policy.
