Wood, Peter
Academic Questions, v24 n3 p262-281 Sep 2011
Is there a bubble in higher education? In this article, the author responds point-by-point to those who argue against the overwhelming signs that there is. In the process, he makes a convincing case that higher education badly needs an overhaul in order to operate more effectively and efficiently. (Contains 38 footnotes.)
