Title: Who Killed Higher Education?
Review: An immensely amusing critique of higher education in general and classical eduction in particular. The authors are classics professors and this tome is a flaying of modern academia. From professors who can't or won't teach to academic articles written in an unreadable gibberish, their targets will be familiar to all who have had the misfortune to waste, at incredible cost, several years of their lives being miseducated at many of our elite universities.The authors write with considerable verve and anger: no dry example of "collegese" in this book except as satire. I recommend this book to all parents before they take out a third mortgage to send Jack or Jill off to Ivy League U only to have them emerge five years later no wiser than before, and any enthusiasm for true intellectual achievement beaten out of them by the pretentious mediocrities who infest the professoriate.My ultimate accolade for this work: Juvenal couldn't have said it better.
