Publisher Synopsis
"Donna Adair Breault and David Callejo Perez provide an important critique of the quest for prestige, rankings, and an economistic competitiveness that undermine the democratic and critical roles universities play in free and open societies. Using case studies to illustrate key concepts and ideas, the authors provide a clear and compelling argument about the dangers universities face - and often perpetuate in the name of 'excellence'." (Deron Boyles, Georgia State University Professor of Social Foundations and Social Foundations of Education; Co-author of 'The Politics of Inquiry: Education Research and the 'Culture of Science'', 2009) "Donna Adair Breault and David Callejo Perez have written a hard-hitting, startling book that challenges all of us to rethink the purposes of higher education. Everyone interested in reforming universities should pay attention to their insightful work." (Wesley Null, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, Baylor University) "Donna Adair Breault and David Callejo Perez provide an important critique of the quest for prestige, rankings, and an economistic competitiveness that undermine the democratic and critical roles universities play in free and open societies.
