A devastating critique of American higher education, the author demonstrating how federal funding has encouraged institutions of higher learning to overbuild, overspend, overstaff, and lose all sight of primary purposes and original aims in properly educating students - resulting in an overall lowering of standards, too much political correctness, a greed for money and more money, a disregard for the needs of students, parents, and society, and the graduation of students who need remedical education in basic subjects and who are often unfit to enter the nation's work force; contains notes, index. Hardcover with dust jacket, 310pp., d.j. shows the very slightest of edgewear. A very nice copy. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
