"Bousquet serves up a stinging indictment of those universities that exploit their students from the moment they set foot on campus. . . . [He] reveals the dystopia that the contemporary university has become."-The Minnesota Review,“Bousquet takes an uncompromising look at the way colleges employ those who teach - and how many professors have done nothing as tenured positions have been replaced with adjunct slots.”-Inside Higher Ed,“Marc Bousquet's How the University Works should be required reading for anyone with an interest in the future of higher education, including administrators, faculty members, graduate students, and—even more significantly—undergraduates and their parents.”-Thomas Hart Benton,The Chronicle of Higher Education“How the University Works is a serious wake-up call for the entire profession, and, based on what I overheard at the [2007 MLA] book fair, Bousquet is about to emerge as the Al Gore of higher education.”-Thomas Hart Benton,The Chronicle of Higher Education"Not only the most persuasive political argument, but also the most sophisticated theoretical analysis of the university's labor system."-The Minnesota Review,
