End of Academic Freedom: The Coming Obliteration of the Core Purpose of the University
ISBN: 9781623966584 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is premised upon the assumption that the core purpose of universities is to create, preserve, transmit, validate, and find new applications for knowledge. It is written in the perspective of critical university studies, in which university governance processes should take ideas and discourse about ideas seriously, far more seriously than they are often taken within many of today's universities, since doing so is the key to achieving this purpose. Specifically, we assert that the best way for universities to take ideas seriously, and so to best achieve their purpose, is to...

Bowen and Tobin explore whether departments remain the best ways through which to organize decision making and if the...
