Wannabe U by Gaye Tuchman
Based on years of observation at a large state university, this title tracks the dispiriting consequences of trading in traditional educational values for loyalty to the market. It provides an account of how higher education's misguided pursuit of success fails us all.
"This book raises important questions about what kind of higher education we wantTuchman is passionately engaged, but never loses her sense of humour and leaves us with much to think about." (Times Higher Education)"
