This book is a "must read" for every parent who has ever signed a
check for tuition, every student who has ever wondered where all
the distinguished professors are hiding, and everyone else who has
ever questioned what faculty do with themselves all day. In this
lucid and engaging account, Richard Huber identifies faculty
productivity as the major reason why college tuition at America's
most prestigious institutions rose at more than twice the rate of
inflation throughout the 1980s. He argues that at the heart of the
productivity issue lies an organization with two competing aims:
research and teaching. The resulting organizational culture majors
in genteel delusion. Huber raises taboo subjects such as increased
and differential faculty teaching loads, putting himself at the
forefront of the new movement for increased accountability in our
colleges. And he does so with humor, grace and empathy as one who
has been inside the university. This is controversy with an impish
grin!
