Book Description:
|
Instead of the high-wage, high-profit world of knowledge work, most campus employees - including faculty - really work in the low-wage, low-profit sphere of the service economy. This title exposes the seamy underbelly of higher education - a world where faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates work long hours for fast-food wages.
