Description

In the 1990s Canadian universities experienced an aggressive campaign of corporatization. "Universities for Sale" offers suggestions on how to resist corporatization. Neil Tudiver shows how scholarly independence has, in recent years, been eroded to a point of crisis. Left unchecked, corporations play a larger and larger role in deciding which fields of study survive and which will disappear. He looks at how professors defend free inquiry against the pressures of economic expediency. "Universities for Sale" is a penetrating analysis of the ongoing issue of corporate influence on Canada's universities.
