November 14, 2024 Academic Fault Lines: The Rise of Industry Logic in Public Higher Education
This Book, "Academic Fault Lines: The Rise of Industry Logic in Public Higher Education," examines the changing landscape of public higher education in the United States during the last quarter of the 20th century. The author utilizes case studies of nine public colleges and universities across three states to analyze the influence of industry logic on institutional practices and decision-making. By comparing the experiences of community colleges, comprehensive state universities, and research universities, the document highlights the complex interplay of social institution logic and industry logic as institutions navigate competing pressures to maintain both traditional values and economic competitiveness. The author argues that while institutions have adapted to economic pressures by embracing market-driven approaches, this has come at a cost to the core values of public higher education, potentially leading to a more stratified system of higher education with unequal access and outcomes.
