About The Book It is a detailed and poignant look at the deeply ingrained and institutionalized culture in American institutions of higher education and its major pitfalls. Frank and honest! Direct and pointed! Solutions are also proposed to change the culture, but it will be a lengthy process. Faculty in higher education will easily relate with many of the different and troubling problems and issues identified here. Administrators may learn about how others perceive their actions or inactions. Parents of current and future college students will be alarmed at what happens in the ivory towers. Legislators and governmental agencies should be prompted to action to pass proposed legislation like the Healthy Workplace Bill.
