Between Mission and Market: The Freshman Year in a Corporate Age
focuses on the arrival of college freshmen at the moment of the
transformation; it uses Adelphi University in suburban New York
City to study an attempt to resolve first-year difficulties. As
higher education institutions turn into enterprises run on business
models, the pressures of getting into college, including the taking
of the SAT and ACT, have induced stress, addictions, eating
disorders, drug use, and mental problems. However, special programs
to ease the first-year transition through counseling and support
are run as cheaply as possible. This book confronts some of the
cardinal controversies in higher education, particularly those
affecting first-year students: high-stakes testing in general
(particularly the SAT), the intensification of student debt and the
financial sentence imposed upon all who incur it, and the dramatic
pressures placed upon freshmen as they transition to college.
