Denunciations are abundant, but analyses of the causes and proposals to re-create public universities are not. Based on extensive experience with Action Research-based organizational change in universities and private sector organizations, Levin and Greenwood analyze the wreckage created by neoliberal academic administrators and policymakers. The authors argue that public universities must be democratically organized to perform their educational and societal functions. The book closes by laying out Action Research processes that can transform public universities back into institutions that promote academic freedom, integrity, and democracy.Public universities and collegesEducation, HigherAims and objectivesDemocracy and educationAction research in educationPublic universities and colleges.Education, HigherAims and objectives.Democracy and education.Action research in education.378/.05Levin Morten1531312Greenwood Davydd J(1942- ),MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792726703321Creating a new public university and reviving democracy3776872UNINA
