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. 606 $aPublic universities and colleges 606 $aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives 606 $aDemocracy and education 606 $aAction research in education 615 0$aPublic universities and colleges. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives. 615 0$aDemocracy and education. 615 0$aAction research in education. 676 $a378/.05 700 $aLevin$b Morten$01636460 702 $aGreenwood$b Davydd J$f(1942- ), 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810939303321 996 $aCreating a new public university and reviving democracy$94115162 997 $aUNINA
