The university is under attack from all sides. Parents and students resent escalating costs, critics condemn the corporatism on campus and academics are uneasy in an environment that fosters competition. This book explores the issues involved and the conditions needed for reform.

The author also suggests that meaningful reform cannot take place until more rigorous standards of academic responsibility are embraced by both faculty and the administration.
