- Synopsis
- The authors make an incisive case that the American way of higher education, now a costliest business, has lost sight of its primary mission: the education of young adults. They call for a thorough overhaul of a self-indulgent system and take readers on a road trip from Princeton to Evergreen State to Florida Gulf Coast University, revealing those faculties and institutions that are getting it right and proving that teaching and learning can be achieved; and at a much more reasonable price.
