ACTA's Must-Reads

"Unread monographs, uninspired undergrads"
Today's Inside Higher Ed features an insightful story on a new study by ACTA friend Mark Bauerlein, a professor of English at Emory University. The gist of Mark's study is something he has been saying at ACTA gatherings and elsewhere for some years: Most professors have the incentive to focus more on research than teaching and student interaction, even as there is less and less of a market for most of the research. Meanwhile, students suffer. Mark understands and explains the lives of faculty members like few others, and his argument deserves to be taken seriously.
