Getting Real in the Academy
Brown, Gary
About Campus, v9 n4 p10-18 Sep-Oct 2004
To say an issue is academic can mean it doesn't really matter, not in the real world, anyway. Gary Brown takes a critical look at how higher education has become unreal for many students and what we might do to help re-engage our institutions with the world. (Contains 17 notes.)
