Meet New York Times contributor
Claudia Dreifus
Noon Friday, September 27
Claudia Dreifus visits with her book, Higher Education?: How Colleges Are Wasting Our Money and Failing Our Kids–and What We Can Do About It. With her partner Andrew Hacker, renowned sociologist and educator, she has written this book on America’s educational industrial complex—and whether or not we need it. Calling for a thorough overhaul of a self-indulgent system, they take readers on a road trip from Princeton and Harvard to Evergreen State and Florida Gulf Coast University, revealing those faculties and institutions that need to adjust their priorities and those that are getting the job done right, proving that teaching and learning can be achieved—and at a much more reasonable price.
Claudia will be speaking at Arizona State University at 3:30pm on September 27th.
