Unfortunate obsessions dominate the culture of colleges and
universities and shortchange students and everyone else. Professors
have become an obstacle to learning. They are not interested in or
rewarded for teaching. They scramble to survive in a surreal world of
nonsense scholarship and obscure publication. They conduct meaningless
research and treat teaching with disdain. Learning takes place because
students make it happen in spite of the foolishness that surrounds
them. Professors don’t explain, listen, or give feedback. Many
don’t speak understandable English. This book throws open the door
of the faculty lounge and tells the dramatic and even embarrassing
story. It recommends major changes in the professoriate to restore
confidence in higher education.
