Reviews

Timely, well written, and should be read widely. -- Christopher Collins Teachers College Record


Timely, well written, and should be read widely. -- Christopher Collins Teachers College Record I certainly wish I could have read it before I went into administration!... The threats to faculty governance, potentially to academic freedom, and the professionalization of the faculty, are all issues that confront the newest generation of faculty. They would be well served to gain a background in these matters by reading Gerber's book. -- Robert A. Becker Journal of Economic Literature
