Boston: South End Pr., 1995. 204p. $40 cloth. ISBN 0-89608-504-X. $13 paper. ISBN 0-89608-503-1. LC 94-39872. 1997-03-01 3 .pdf application/pdf 2495 195 52 He writes of the “culture of greed” taking root in our nation’s col- leges and universities as they become more dependent on corporate funding: huge salaries and luxurious “perks” for university CEOs; “savings” realized through cuts in payrolls from the re- placement of full-time faculty with tem- porary, part-time adjuncts; the hiring of ever greater numbers of administrators who have little or no direct contact with students; hefty increases in tuition with- out decreases in faculty/student ratios. Soley provides several examples of how corporations have taken advantage of changes made in tax and patent laws in the early 1980s which allow companies to reap the benefits of research done at universities. cache/crl-15122.pdf txt/crl-15122.txt
