About the Author George Dennis OBrien is president emeritus of the University of Rochester and former president of Bucknell University. He is the author of a number of books, including What to Expect from College and All the Essential HalfTruths about Higher Education, the latter published by the University of Chicago Press. Product Description In this refreshing and original exploration, George Dennis O'Brien looks at higher education in America. O'Brien argues that to debate intelligently the future of education we must stop focusing on its ideals and look instead at its institutions. He does this by addressing nine halftruths, such as whether 'low cost public education benefits the least advantaged in society,' and goes on to examine how accurately they reflect the true state of higher education. The result is a thoughtprovoking discussion of the present challenges and future prospects of American higher education.
