The Great Unraveling: The University in Decline

Autor J. Battersby
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 dec 2019
This book addresses a number of issues resulting from the corporatization of higher education, including administrative usurpation of decision-making about the curriculum, the diminishing role of faculty governance in matters of curriculum design, the erosion of academic freedom, the rise of contingent and adjunct faculty members with little job permanence and few benefits, and the rise of STEM courses (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) at the expense of the liberal arts. Other issues of interest on modern campuses are also discussed: trigger warnings, safe spaces, the complexity of the issue of free speech at universities, identity politics, the digital humanities, the value of a humanistic education, the pressures on universities to create course programs that lead to job market success, and the failures of interdisciplinarity.
