"This is the manuscript as it was submitted to a New York
publisher. It arrived in a brown paper wrapper tied with string and
wrapped in Scotch tape. It was soggy and battered, and the return
address and half the cover letter were missing. For this reason, we
did not know who the author actually was ... An extensive search
has convinced us that the name Michelangelo Schwartz is a nom de
plume meant to shield him from the wrath of his friends and
colleagues. And make no mistake about it, wrath there will be. "
Join us for a roller coaster ride across American higher education
that takes us from the top graduate schools to an online university
whose motto is "Welcome to a college that has no class." Meet Dr.
Michelangelo Schwartz, a drunken and philandering Dante scholar who
descends into the same circles of hell he bored his students with.
Meet Sister Bill, the dean of discipline at a Catholic women's
college. The good sister carries a metal ruler-and is not afraid to
use it. Meet Jim Bob Rules, president of Lee Harvey Oswald
Community College in Sheets, Texas, who only has the job because
his father-in-law is chairman of the board. Meet Senator Brandon
Stubblefield, who wants to clean up higher education-that is, until
he finds himself in a sticky situation. If you ever wondered why so
many people are mad at higher education, wonder no more. Enjoy your
stay at "The University of Last Resort."
