Unfortunate obsessions dominate the culture of colleges and
universities and shortchange students and everyone else. Professors
have become an obstacle to learning. They are not interested in or
rewarded for teaching. They scramble to survive in a surreal world
of nonsense scholarship and obscure publication. They conduct
meaningless research and treat teaching with disdain. Learning
takes place because students make it happen in spite of the
foolishness that surrounds them. Professors don't explain, listen,
or give feedback. Many don't speak understandable English. This
book throws open the door of the faculty lounge and tells the
dramatic and even embarrassing story. It recommends major changes
in the professoriate to restore confidence in higher education.
