|a "Higher education always seems to be in crisis. Governments, foundations, professional associations, and the occasional scornful professor all tend to lament one or another problem plaguing America's colleges and universities. The more apocalyptic tracts claim that the US is a "Nation at Risk," that our students' minds have been closed, or that radical faculty have run-a-muck and are brainwashing America's youth. In Get Real, leading scholar of higher education, William G. Tierney cuts through this noise, drawing on his experience and expertise to ask readers the same question he asks his students-What do you think? In forty-nine short, engaging essays, Tierney aims not to stoke the flames of controversy or promote a particular stance but to provoke creative, forward-looking public discussion about what higher education could and should look like in the twenty-first century. Tierney clearly distills and offers his take on critical issues-from diversity and free speech to the rise of for-profit colleges and student debt. Still, the goal is always to give readers the background and tools to form their own opinions. Written in a conversational tone and laced with personal anecdotes, Get Real is informed by scholarly literature without being weighed down by it and includes suggestions for further reading based on areas of interest"--
