In humans, the disease narcissism often leads to disregard of the rights and boundaries of others, and humans may act out destructively against others. US public Higher education has similarly become narcissistic and acts out destructively against its own students. In particular, we have had 50 years of over-production of graduate students. A higher education degree used to be of lifelong value. These days those degrees have been deflated in value, a bubble has been created, and degrees no longer lead to a better life. The bubble was created to serve the selfish interests of faculty and administrators. We have had several decades of K-12 malpractice. The majority of US students are entering College with what used to be a fifth grade education. Recent generations have learned mistrust of institutions, are not interested in 60+ hour job commitments, and are seeking mostly jobs requiring at most a bachelor's degree. Bad news: All signs point to an implosion in graduate school education. Good news: As the demand for college degrees changes and wanes, there may be an opportunity for reform that is student- and community-centered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Winfrey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1974635422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781974635429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"John Winfrey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874154787071,"sku":"9781974635429","price":6.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/us-public-higher-education-suffers-john-winfrey-9781974635429","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
