Description
Synopsis
As professors in the United States are being paid less and less to teach more and more undergraduates, prospective students need all the information they can get about receiving their tuition-dollars’ worth.About to choose a college? About to make an investment that might exceed a quarter-million dollars? Worried about “ideological indoctrination” on university campuses? Then you need to know a lot about professors. There has been, perhaps, no worse time to be a scholar in the United States than now. The misery experienced by the professoriate has immediate and dramatic effects on the education that undergraduates receive. As Professors Lay Dying seeks to help you answer the following questions: 1. How important are professors to my college education? 2. How seriously do they take the responsibility of teaching undergraduates? 3. What kind of professors are actually in the classroom working with American coeds? 4. Is ideological indoctrination a real danger to the nation’s matriculated youth? 5. What kind of schools should a discerning college shopper look for? 6. Ultimately, why are professors so essential to the delivery of a first-class education? Colleges don’t advertise the state of their faculty—but it might be the most important factor in your decision. This book pulls back the curtain on the profession that shapes the minds of the next generation.
