Recommendation

As the former editor of The Chronicle of Higher Education, Jeffrey N. Selingo knows the world of higher education. He covers the politics at the Congressional level and the daily experiences of students. Based on his research and his discussions on campuses across the US, Selingo reviews the current state of university-level education. His report provides a fascinating look at ongoing and future issues in education. A revolution is underway, and Selingo prepares parents and managers of the future workforce to understand how the college experience will change. His wealth of information gives this report remarkable insight into current issues in higher education. getAbstract recommends this knowledgeable overview to employers, college placement consultants, parents, students, guidance counselors, faculty, futurists and HR personnel who recruit on campus.

Take-Aways

  • Institutions of higher education no longer provide an education, but a customer service.
  • Faculty costs are far less than the expense of “student services, administration and maintenance.”
  • Adjunct professors dependent on ratings for contract renewals know that inflating grades pleases students and leads to good reviews.
