Description

practices, commercialism at the expense of learning and scientific research, intellectual scandal, and research conflict of interest. The text further analyzes the deviant effects and pressures of external groups, including donors and governing boards, that negatively impact the operations of a university." "In addition, the authors concentrate on patterns of deviance and crime that have been observed and offer suggestions, remedies, and direction for improvement. The authors conclude that this is the type of book that an academic would rather not write as it clearly reveals that universities are microcosms of society, but assert that they should not be." --Book Jacket.
