The book examines increased expectations and how existing policies have spilled over into institutions of higher learning once high school graduates enter this domain. Students' educational expectations resonate with college administrators and policy makers forcing institutions to adapt to these needs. This moves professors to "dumb down" the curricula and teaching to avoid negative evaluations and protect themselves from unwarranted retaliation.
This confluence of factors reverberates throughout the educational system, producing unintended effects that have collectively led to an alliance between the administration and students in higher education, much like those experienced by our K-12 colleagues yet now questions the rationale for tenure to re-examine dilemmas that have long dogged higher education. The most recent solution - the corporatization of institutions but to the detriment of a quality education. Weofferpracticalstrategies to mitigate this unilateral approach while incorporating innovative mechanisms for the system's survival.
