Quotes by Mark C. Carnes  (?)

“Many contemporary critics of higher education similarly posit a Golden Age; but no one knows when it was supposed to exist.”
Mark C. Carnes, Minds on Fire: How Role-Immersion Games Transform College

“Senior faculty nowadays similarly squirm when former 'dunderheads' return to campus to lecture on their prizewinning screenplay or to cut the ribbon for a building funded by their entrepreneurial acumen. How did such dullards metamorphose into geniuses?”
Mark C. Carnes, Minds on Fire: How Role-Immersion Games Transform College

“Senior scholars, insulated by tenure, pawn undergraduate instruction onto overburdened adjuncts and unprepared grad students. Beleaguered instructors ward off student resentment by offering fluff courses, assigning little work, and bestowing As with glad-handed largesse. This 'non-aggression' pact enables students to enjoy the social aspects of college without the inconvenience of doing much academic work, and it allows professors to focus on research (or carpentry or yoga) unencumbered by pestering students.”
Mark C. Carnes, Minds on Fire: How Role-Immersion Games Transform College
