A tenured prof. breaks ranks to reveal what's wrong with American higher education and how it affects you.
Professors can be underpaid. Marginalized. Over-reviewed. But one fact remains: The success of your education depends on them. Part industry expose and part call for a return to engaged teaching, Campus Confidential shows how the noble project of higher education fell so far and how we can redeem it.
A must-read for parents thinking about their kids' futures: This book answers the questions most other college resources don't: Who exactly is teaching my kid? What questions to ask on the campus visit? How to get the most out of your tuition dollars?
Jacques Berlinerblau is a tenured professor at one of the best schools in the country, and he has seen it all.

He has the inside scoop on the real world of Higher Ed. today.
