Book Description:
Controversial views on the state of higher education today published to coincide with a PBS documentary T wo decades ago the report known as 'A Nation at Risk' sounded a national alarm: Our public schools were falling apart. Today, we are at even greater risk. Colleges and universities are succumbing to market-driven, bottom-line thinking, and must take responsibility for a serious erosion of quality in undergraduate education. Attainment of a college degree no longer signifies any special achievement. 'Higher' education's standards have been lowered. In Degrees of Mediocrity, Tom Wolfe, Arthur Levine, Jim Fallows, Carol Schneider and others sound an alarm, offering a no-holds-barred examination of the causes of this nation-at-greater-risk phenomenon and provide suggestions for what we must do to improve a system so vital to the nation's future.
