The Five Fallacies of Academic Life.
Adams, Michael F.
Trusteeship, v3 n5 p18-21 Sep-Oct 1995
Five false notions about higher education threaten its health: (1) deregulation of federal money will make it easier to obtain and manage aid; (2) consumerism in higher education is a passing fad; (3) college outcome assessments are impossible, so the accreditation debate will diminish; (4) accreditation will become easier; and (5) all these issues concern educational quality, not money.
