Collegial Professionalism: The Academy, Individualism, And The Common Good

by John B. Bennett

John Bennett offers a provocative and tightly knit argument on ethics in higher education. He examines the current condition of faculty isolation and organizational fragmentation, which he believes has led to a penchant for "insistent individualism" at many institutions of higher learning. Bennett presents a philosophical model that reflects the academy in its current state, where the focus is on private interests and promotion, and then offers an engaging alternative.
