"Any question about the reform of education must come down to the purpose of education in a democratic society." With this assertion, Richard Gambino launches his vigorous and incisive investigation into higher education in America today, and his no less vigorous proposals for remedying its readily apparent failures and flaws. The kind of culture and society we have in America depends to a high degree on the kind of education we provide. Gambino offers facts and figures, but the heart of his book is a highly readable analysis of the basic purpose of higher education and proposals to reclaim and restore that purposeoto the benefit of the schools, and our entire society.
