2.0 out of 5 stars
Be a Marxist with your Academic Freedom?,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tenure for Socrates: A Study in the Betrayal of the American Professor (Hardcover)
This book was going to be 3 stars for being kind of boring and not full of facts. It dropped down to 2 for having a punchline that says we should all use our academic freedom as professors to preach Marxism as the ideal. Perhaps the author did not get tenure, and was someone who needs and deserves it (according to him), while those who do not have wild ideas have tenure at his school (UNC-Wilmington) but don't need this tenure. What a waste of my time reading this not too subtle tribute to Marxism. On the other side, a very conservative book is ProfScam, however ProfScam at least has interesting facts about shortcomings in tenure, publishing, and professors running from teaching. Avoid Tenure for Socrates. Nice title for a book that is not truthful about its motives until about Chapter 12 out of 13.
