Higher education in the US is increasingly being based on a corporate model. This book examines the corporatized industry of American higher education, providing a comprehensive critique of the problems the sector faces.It explores alternative policy solutions and examples of systems of higher education that are both effective and cost-effective. The authors propose a forward-looking agenda for structural reform that is less expensive and more educationally sound than the current model. They explore key topics including affordability, access, waste, hierarchal administrative structures, faculty governance, status and social mobility based on institutional prestige and the overall commodification of higher education in the US. They provide an alternative solution for the US which emphasizes social cohesion, sustainability, a respect for diversity and an understanding of democracy and democratic principles.
