| Description | xx, 326p. |
| Contents Note | During the past two decades, commerical forces have quietly transformed virtually every aspect of academic life. Corporate funding of universities is growing and the money comes with strings attached. In return for this largesse, universities are acting more and more like for profit patent factories, while professors are behaving more like businessmen. Secrecy is replacing the free flow of basic knowledge, university funds are shifting from the humanities to more commercially lucrative science labs, and the skill of teacing is valued less and less. Drawing on extensive interviews and original research, Washburn paints an alarming pictutre of how one of America's most prized institutions and the nation's last refuge for independent thought - is being colonized by a market ideology that is fundamentally at odds with the university's core academic values. |
