Description

"The cost of a college degree has increased by 1,125% since 1978 - four times the rate of inflation. Provocative, persuasive, clear-eyed, and even amusing, Fail U. strips the academic emperor of its clothes to reveal the American university system as it really is - and how it must change"--
