Description
Course Correction: A Map for the Distracted University explores the challenges facing modern universities and proposes a path forward.
The author argues that the university's core business is to generate and critique knowledge claims, and to transmit and certify the acquisition of knowledge. To achieve this, institutions must maintain their autonomy from external influences and prioritize academic freedom and effective governance.
Through a critical examination of student experience, undergraduate education, and the role of universities in society, Course Correction seeks to redefine what it means for a university to be well-placed and relevant in the 21st century.
