The Fall of the Faculty by Benjamin Ginsberg
2.0
While I completely agree with the fundamental argument of this book and have seen it in action at a university where I work, his tone is pretty pompous and rude; it's almost like the first angry draft was accepted for publication without adjustments, and while I personally identified with his anger, it seemed overdone and inappropriate here, especially for a scholar.
Some enlightening ideas about strategic plans, tenure, institutional assessment, and endowments were the best parts for me and if you're looking for a rant about the downfall of higher learning in this country, then look no further.
