5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant and painfully convincing
Kolodny explores every angle of the pressures facing faculty, students and administrators, and misses nothing. She has some splendid suggestions for hewing a path of the mess, too.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Kolodny's advocacy of speech codes borders on fascism.
Annette Kolodny uses this book as an opportunity to advance her already infamous advocacy of speech codes, which ought to be called what it is: illiberal, intolerant, and bordering on fascism. With friends like these, the professoriate doesn't need enemies. What also speaks volumes is that this book is published by Duke, the home of that high priest of PC, Stanley Fish.

Best book on higher education in a decade.,
By DJPeters1@aol.com (Brooklyn, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Failing the Future: A Dean Looks at Higher Education in the Twenty-first Century (Hardcover)
A very personal examination of higher education that also attends to problems in K-12 public education. Full of practical solutions and common-sense analyses of both the politics and economics of education in the United States. The book is thoughtful and compassionate and is written by someone who genuinely cares about the role of education in a democracy.
