Hi and welcome to THE PUBLIC SPHERE from Contrivers' Review. I'm Luke Mergner joined by Pete Sinnott at our "studio" — in air quotes — in Glendale, CA.
Two weeks ago we discussed the
collective autobiography, Quit Lit, documenting the mass exodus of
non-tenured faculty from Higher Education to a depressed and
depressing job market. Today, we're talking about Ron Srigley's
"Whose
University is it anyway?" — a diatribe about the balance of power
between administrators and professors in the modern university. As
educators at every level face funding crunches, how does the
growing administrative bloat in higher education serve the
students?
