Whackademia: An Insider's Account of the Troubled UniversityA scathing insider expose, this account lifts the lid on a higher education system that s corporatized beyond recognition, steeped in bureaucracy, and dominated by marketing and PR imperatives rather than intellectual pursuit. Fearless, ferocious, and often funny, this exposes a world that stands in stark contrast to the slogans and mottos joyously promoted by Australia s universities. Raising bold questions that go to the heart of Australian higher education, this is an unsentimental call for a reenlightened higher education sector that s not only about revenue, efficiencies, and corporate profile." |
