Many books have been written outlining problems with higher
education in America. Many have been written in broad strokes.
Where specific, many others have tended to focus on some of the
nation's most famous schools. The average American family sends
their children not to the Ivy League but to less noteworthy state
schools, where quality could prevail but is often compromised. It
is in such schools that many of the problems of American education
continue to thrive without any meaningful reform. Levy's book
endeavors to explain many of the problems which plague our schools
and which shortchange students and their parents who pay the
ever-higher costs. Looking in depth at a typical university, Levy
reveals the ways that silly, at times corrupt, administrative and
union games, marginal disciplines, and mediocre, at times
fraudulent, academics have gained unjustifiably significant
positions in schools and have needlessly truncated valuable
resources which could otherwise be used to promote genuine quality
and make universities serve the students and citizens who foot the
bills.
