| Zusammenfassung: | "Lacking normal measures of efficiency or production, universities' costs tend to spiral higher - with future escalation a given. Without reform, America's universities are coasting. Assuring future generation of a quality education is the collective responsibility and the duty of the citizenry. Based on an inside-out view of universities, this book provides the ammunition for such a campaign. It provides the information and stimulus for reform for legislators, community leaders, academics, and average citizens." --Book Jacket. |

"Lacking normal measures of efficiency or production, universities' costs tend to spiral higher - with future escalation a given. Without reform, America's universities are coasting. Assuring future generation of a quality education is the collective responsibility and the duty of the citizenry. Based on an inside-out view of universities, this book provides the ammunition for such a campaign. It provides the information and stimulus for reform for legislators, community leaders, academics, and average citizens." --Book Jacket.
