How the University Works: Higher Education and the Low-Wage Nation by Cary Nelson, Marc Bousquet

4.0

In another world, this might have been "The Jungle" for higher ed. It's a sometimes disheartening, sometimes terrifying, and always depressing assessment of the university system in the United States (and, increasingly, Canada). Unfortunately, Bousquet is either going to be preaching to the choir or falling on deaf ears. The first and last chapters, at least, should be mandatory reading for anybody considering graduate education.
