Mark Carter barely has time to dump his personal belongings into
his office in the administration building at Boan University when
Dean Hartley's lifeless body is found lying in a pool of blood. A
booming, narcissistic voice is silenced forever just as carter is
about to begin his new role as provost.
While police roam the campus looking for clues as to who killed
the dean, Carter attempts to seek out rationality in the often
irrational world of higher education administration. Armed only
with a sense of humor and an ancient cell phone, Carter steps into
a universe of endless meetings, inflated egos, and inane policies
and soon becomes disillusioned with a college administration more
focused on a dunk-the-mascot event during spirit week than on a
much-needed library renovation. The real mystery at Boan University
is not, who killed Dean Hartley? it's how does anything get done
and can Provost Carter survive?
"It's All Academic" presents a lighthearted and highly
entertaining account of one man's ill-fated year as he immerses
himself in the often unpredictable, image-building life that
surrounds the world of higher education.
