A Review of Campus, Inc.



  

by Diane Calabrese

Campus, Inc.: Corporate Power in the Ivory Tower Edited by Geoffrey D. White, Ph.D. with Flannery C. Hauck 2001--Prometheus Books, Amherst, New York

IN SHORT, THE authors of the 30 chapters in this book have this to say: corporations hold the power at institutions of higher education (and in other sectors of society). Faculty, and their natural allies-students, support staff, parents, and alumni-should wrest the power away from corporations. In the struggle to gain control, or exercise genuine (non-illusory) self-governance, faculty et. al. can expect to use frequent teach-ins, consensus-building sessions and rallies, conduct occasional sessions of guerilla theater, and give a nod now and then to Thorstein Veblen, Upton Sinclair, John Dewey, and perhaps, Frederick Winslow Taylor.
