Lowering Higher Education: The Rise of Corporate Universities and the Fall of Liberal Education
Lowering Higher Educationwill be widely read and discussed thanks to its insightful, controversial analysis of the major issues facing higher education today. James E. Côté and Anton L. Allahar put forth excellent arguments on why the liberal arts education is being lost in the university environment, and what implications this will have in the long run for students, professors, and society. By detailing positive examples from around the world and suggestions for improvement, Côté and Allahar have made a serious advance with Lowering Higher Education.
