We're Losing Our Minds : Rethinking American Higher Education

This is a true educational emergency! The only solution - making learning the highest priority in college - demands fundamental change throughout higher education. We are losing our minds - and endangering our social, economic, and scientific leadership. Critics say higher education costs too much and should be more efficient but the real problem is value, not cost - financial "solutions" alone won't work. In this book, Hersh and Keeling argue that the only solution - making learning the highest priority in college - demands fundamental change throughout higher education.
