Higher Education?
In Higher Education? WPI Senior Fellow Claudia Dreifus and renowned sociologist Andrew Hacker deliver a call to arms and make an incisive case that the American way of higher education, now a $420 billion-per-year business, has lost sight of its primary mission: the education of young adults. Going behind the myths and mantras, they trace how a system has simultaneously blown up and broken down, and discuss their controversial proposals for repairing it.
