Steal This University: The Rise of the Corporate University and the Academic Labor Movement
Anyone with an interest in the future of American higher education will benefit from reading this collection of provocative and often brilliant essays. There are lucid and cogent analyses of the excessive and often corrupt influence of corporations on curricula and research, profiteering by academic entrepreneurs, the imposition of a demonstrably flawed corporate structure on the academy, and the overuse and abuse of poorly paid contingent faculty. The volume concludes with a call to recapture the university for the good of our students and our society..–Jane Buck, Ph.D., National President, American Association of University ProfessorsThe strength of the book is in the very readable essays of those authors who are working as or are organizing graduate asssistants, adjunct faculty, or tenure-track faculty.  It is an accessible anthology for undergraduates as well as graduate students....this volume has a great deal to offer..–Journal of Higher Education
